The religious Community of St. Martin (La Comunidad de San Martin) is a Eucharistic community with roots in the struggle of Central City Lutheran Mission to become an inclusive and welcoming community of faith. Because of its solidarity with the poor, Latin and African American people and GLBT leadership, Central City Lutheran Mission was removed from the roster of the ELCA congregations in 2004. The Community of San Martin has grown into an independent international organization, working both in California and Mexico. With “La Obra de San Martin” in San Bernardino, California, and pastoral work in Guadalajara, Mexico, the Community of St. Martin, through action and reflection, seeks to establish a modest presence “among the poor.”.
