Spanish-language ezine wins support from associate group

by Everett J. Thomas

Print Article

In April 2008, The Mennonite and Mennonite Education Agency formed a partnership to publish Meno Acontecer (Mennonite Happenings), a free electronic magazine for Hispanic leaders.

Rafael Barahona (pictured), who leads MEA's Hispanic Pastoral Leadership Education office, serves as managing editor. Anna Groff, assistant editor for The Mennonite, lays out each issue and sends the monthly ezine to some 600 subscribers.

Because of Meno Acontecer's popularity, Iglesia Menonita Hispana decided to discontinue the publication of its newsletter "Encuentro" and enter into a partnership with Meno Acontecer, making it their official publication. The decision was made by the IMH board Nov. 2-3.

"[We join] Meno Acontecer to better serve the Hispanic churches through this media outlet," says IMH executive director Yvonne Diaz. "Articles, news, studies and information [by the IMH] continue as usual."

Most of the content in Meno Acontecer originated in Spanish; little material is translated into Spanish from English. Because of the many articles in each issue, the publishing partners are considering publishing it twice a month.

The publishing partners are also working on a print version that can be sent to Hispanic leaders who do not have access to email and the Internet.
