| In
previous years the celebration has been held at one of the churches
with Hispanic congregations, but this year the host congregation,
St. James-in-Hills, Hollywood, decided to bring the celebration
to the community.
Sunday
afternoon beach-goers, rollerbladers, street people and kids on
bicycles and scooters stopped to hear the music and watch the
dancing, and were reminded frequently that the fiesta was
sponsored by "las iglesias episcopales".
Jennifer
and Catherine Zelaya of St. J
James-in-the-Hills performed a Bolivian dance.
Dancers
from Estampa de Columbia displayed the different costumes and
styles of dance from the different regions of that country.
Children
from the Sunday School of San Francisco de Asis,
Hialeah/Miami Lakes, danced to the popular "Mambo No. 5".
Both
Bishop Frade and Bishop Said were on hand to welcome the crowd.
