4. TO AWAKEN NEW IDEAS IN EXISTING CHURCHES… Iglesia Unida de Chapel Hill, a church based out of the United Church of Chapel Hill (N.C.) is one of only a few open and affirming Latino churches in the South. Iglesia Unida, led by Rev. Dave Mateo, is committed to social justice, and to the work for peace.

6.
