Presiding Bishop experiences booming Hispanic congregation. Surrounded by a sea of curious children, Presiding Bishop Frank T. Griswold, right, joins in a special evening celebration at the 1,800-member mission congregation of Nuestra Senora de Guadelupe during an Executive Council visit in San Jose, California. Under the direction of the Rev. Roberto Hernandez, the congregation in Trinity Cathedral in the Diocese of El Camino Real is part of a diocesan strategy to take advantage of a "vast missionary area" in which the population is less than half white and in which only 15 percent claim any church affiliation.
