Abstract
"The paper traces the key developments taking place within the Protestant movement in Latin America and the Caribbean, including both the churches and ecumenical organizations. The analysis begins in 1949, trying to provide a larger picture of the international scenario. A major emphasis is placed on the influences of the ecumenical movement, particularly the World Council of Churches. Liberation Theology and its prominence as a progressive movement in the churches is a key component as a major influence. The impact of the Second Vatican Council of the Catholic Church is highlighted. The process that concluded at the formation of the Latin American Council of Churches in Oaxtepex, Mexico, 1978 is also stressed."
