Embodying La Fiesta

A Tribute

Abstract

“Embodying La Fiesta: A Tribute” is a way to delve into the treasures José David Rodríguez and Javier (Jay) Alanis have given us through their ministerial and educational work. José and Jay taught, wrote, and led learning processes with a relational and community perspective, which the present article celebrates. From the centrality of their communities, José and Jay have engaged other people and communities to continue developing theology and ministries “En conjunto”—together. These conjoint efforts have nurtured people to serve in different capacities in churches and faith organizations.
