Jessica Lugo makes the case that effectively serving Hispanic/Latino lifelong learners requires more than just access or representation; it calls for intentional cultural awareness rooted in hospitality, justice, and the theological affirmation of the imago Dei. She offers practical tools to promote academic success, engagement, and a sense of belonging—practices that support all learners no matter their culture or ethnicity.

About This Series

ALLLM is pleased to present a seven-episode webinar series, "Cultivating the Ecotone of Lifelong Learning for Ministry." Each webinar features one or more contributors to the open-access book Sustaining Ministry Education: Cultivating the Ecotone of Lifelong Learning, edited by Darryl W. Stephens, forthcoming from Atla Open Press, September 2026. https://darrylwstephens.com/sustaining-ministry-education/. Located at the confluence of church, society, and academy, lifelong learning is an “ecotone,” a transitional space with its own distinct ecology. In this webinar series, directors of programs, theological educators, and theological librarians share research and best practices to promote a healthy ecotone focused on discovery, innovation, nurture, and sustainability.
