Dennis and Maribel Smith live and work in Guatemala City, Guatemala. Dennis coordinates the Publications and Communications Training Program for the Central American Evangelical Center for Pastoral Studies (Cedepca). Dennis writes, "Today the commercial media, more than our churches, more than our schools, more than our families, have become the main source of our culture's common dreams, values, and expectations. Why, then, do so few theological seminaries help their students understand how the media create meaning and values in a global culture?" Maribel, in addition to providing ministry in the home, teaches alternatives to violence as part of Cedepca's Women's Program. |
