DEBA at the Table: Episode 2 | Rev. Lori Tapia
In a powerful and heartfelt exchange, Rev. Gabriel Lopez sat down with Rev. Lori Tapia, National Hispanic Pastor for the Disciples of Christ (Christian Church), to explore how Pension Fund's Diversity, Equity, Belonging, and Accessibility (DEBA) initiative is supporting Obra Hispana—a richly diverse community with a wide range of needs and expressions of faith. Their conversation highlighted how DEBA is meeting these needs through bilingual staff, translated materials, and financial support, helping Latino/a/x clergy and congregations feel seen, supported, and empowered. As the first woman and first Mexican-American to lead Obra Hispana, Rev. Lori Tapia shared personal reflections on how DEBA is not just a program, but a vital framework for inclusive ministry and transformative leadership.
