 Manny Santiago Communications Committee Chairperson Juan Manuel (Manny) Santiago was born and raised in Puerto Rico. His great-grandmother was a lay missionary of the – then – Northern Baptist Convention, and his family has been in the American Baptist family for four generations. He was ordained by the First Baptist Church in Newton Centre, MA in 2007 being the first Latino to be ordained to the ministry by that congregation. He has worked with American Baptist congregations in Puerto Rico, Massachusetts, and New York City. Currently, he serves as the Associate Pastor of the Church of St. Paul & St. Andrew, United Methodist, in the city of New York, and his responsibilities include working with the United Campus Ministry at Columbia University. A graduate of Andover Newton Theological School, Manny is the author of “Para ser bautistas / Being Baptists” a bilingual, small-group resource for new members, published by Judson Press in 2009. He has also taught at the Humanities Department’s distance learning program of the Inter American University of Puerto Rico in Ponce. Manny has been an individual member of AWAB since 2000. He has a passion for reading, traveling, preaching, and exploring new restaurants in New York City, in that order! For the past five years, Manny has shared his life with Andrew Madej, a freelance tuba player and graduate from both Oberlin Conservatory and New England Conservatory of Music. |
