English term or phrase: outreach arm
Buenas noches,

Estoy traduciendo un texto religioso y tengo una duda con el término que aparece entre asteriscos en el siguiente extracto:

BISHOP BOYLE OUTREACH & RESOURCE CENTRE

The Bishop Boyle Outreach and Resource Centre is the **outreach arm** of the Diocese of Mandeville that seeks to serve the poorest of the poor in the Diocese under the guidance of St. Matthew’s Gospel which states: “For I was hungry, and you gave me to eat: I was thirsty, and you gave me to drink: I was a stranger, and you took me in…And the king answering shall say to them: Amen I say to you, as long as you did it to one of these my least brethren, you did it to me.” Matt 25:35,40.

Se me ocurre "sección de compromiso comunitario"; sin embargo, creo de que no estaría traduciendo la expresión correctamente.

De antemano, agradezco sus aportes.

"brazo u órgano de alcance comunitario o social"
Explanation:
The Bp Boyle O & R Ctr is an outreach ministry within a larger religious jurisdiction. The context is self-explanatory.

"Sección" refers to an area of the overall ministry whereas "brazo/órgano" refers to its instrumentality. They are linked, but in terms of function, I would say that "brazo" or "órgano" are more precise and better translations than "sección".

However, "sección de compromiso comunitario" makes sense, but the use "compromiso" in this translation gives me pause. If you must use it, I'd rather translate it as "secc. de compromiso social".

entidad de extensión y compromiso social


Explanation:
El Centro de extensión comunitaria y compromiso social "Obispo Boyle" es la entidad de extensión comunitaria de la diócesis de Mandeville. En esta se procura atender a los más necesitados de la diócesis según el principio consagrado en el evangelio de San Mateo: "porque tuve hambre y me disteis de comer; tuve sed y me disteis de beber; fui forastero y me acogisteis en vuestro hogar; os digo Amén; en tanto lo hicisteis para el más pequeño de mis hermanos, lo hicisteis para mí.” Mateo 25:35,40.

Pienso que se escribe de un compromiso social o comunitario que es algo que toda comunidad tiene como un objetivo moral. Es porque la
pobreza puede afectarles a algunos desafortunados mientras otros van bien sin el mismo tipo de problema. Así el compromiso existe para hacernos considerar a los menos afortunados.
