| Summary: | In the past century the American Catholic Church has responded to ethnic diversity and immigration first with a strategy of assimilation, then cultural pluralism, and more recently multiculturalism. Immigrants arriving after 1965 have been greeted by a church that claims to welcome their diverse cultural heritages as a gift. This paper examines the church's changing stance toward immigrants and ethnic diversity through the experience of Filipinos in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. Filipinos have followed the lead of Latino Catholics in asking for greater recognition and resources from the church, but they must now negotiate their place within the church's push for multiculturalism and greater integration of previously isolated ethnic ministries. |
