Abstract

This article is an analysis of the Confraternidad Cristiana de Iglesias (Christian Fellowship of Churches), which was founded in 1981 as an evangelical and Pentecostal religious minority active and liberationist, which deprivatize in entering the public world and protest against the political, social and economic; fight for democracy, and assumes a political stance peaceful and non-violent, against the dictatorship. This is an analysis of four public statements made between 1984-1988 that were published in the Magazine Evangelio y Sociedad. The purpose of this article is to discuss and refute previous research on the Chilean evangelical movement conceived as ideological-religious supporters of the military dictatorship.
