More and more Latinos have some type of Protestant affiliation, more Latino Protestant churches are being founded across widely diverse geographies, and Latino Protestant parachurch organizations are gaining more social and political power through their representation and outreach. This chapter synthesizes the latest research on Latino Protestants in the United States in relation to history, sociodemographics, conversion, and race/ethnic identity formation from a sociological perspective. This chapter urges scholars to engage more productively the diversity of worship, liturgy, theology, identities, resources, and religious orientations, taking into account varied origins and migrations across Latino ancestral groups. This chapter argues against ethnoracial essentialization, that is, neglecting the nuances of Latino Protestant identity in favor of idealized notions often in the form of racial/ethnic stereotypes—even among scholars. This chapter shows that systematic, empirical research does not support often-cited assessments of Latino Protestants and their churches as “fiestas” with “spicy” worship. This chapter urges scholars to avoid such front-loaded, racialized assumptions and exercise their social scientific expertise. Broader reading and more closely contextualized observation will ensure a more textured understanding of these newer and rapidly expanding Latino Protestants and their churches.","PeriodicalId":118038,"journal":{"name":"The Oxford Handbook of Latinx Christianities in the United States","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127942528","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Rather than assume that Latina/o religious politics begins with religious leadership, this chapter proposes a narrative framework for religious politics in the civil rights era that outlines how both religious insiders and outsiders together came to shape, influence, and in many ways undergird what historian Anthony M. Stevens Arroyo has called the “Latino religious resurgence” in the 1970s. This chapter investigates the period from the late 1960s to the early 1980s, an era that saw the rise—theologically and culturally—of Latina/o religious politics. The chapter argues that to understand this era we must move beyond the walls of the church and the religious leadership that is so often at the center of these narratives. Instead, we must include the broad range of religious experiences in the Latina/o community, both formal and informal, religious and nonreligious, that have pushed back against urban renewal, racial discrimination, and anti-immigrant/refugee policies.","PeriodicalId":118038,"journal":{"name":"The Oxford Handbook of Latinx Christianities in the United States","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117120659","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Latinos/as, Healing, and Christianity 拉丁美洲人，治疗和基督教

Because healing has been an intrinsic part of Christianity from its inception, it is little wonder that Latinos/as have likewise relied on the healing power of the Christian God and God’s representatives to treat their suffering, cure their diseases, and to restore wholeness to broken bodies and relationships. This chapter traces the particularities of how the Latino/a experience has shaped how this healing takes form. Spanish colonization and evangelization of indigenous populations, and the accompanying brutality and dislocation, necessitated a faith that included healing. A medicinal and religious tradition developed that drew as much on Iberian Catholicism as it did on indigenous medicines and understandings of the human body. Curanderismo and other combinatory healing practices have creatively and effectively addressed the health needs of many Latin Americans and Latinos/as. In the last century, charismatic forms of Christianity have grown rapidly in Latino/a communities, often because they specialize in miraculous healing. Religious healing has been and promises to remain an essential element of Latino/a Christianities. There are many opportunities for future study in this area. As the Latino/a population continues to grow and diversity, it will be important to understand better how religious healing traditions from different national origins come to interact and even combine in the United States.","PeriodicalId":118038,"journal":{"name":"The Oxford Handbook of Latinx Christianities in the United States","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115148196","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In sharp contrast to the state, which has refused to extend assistance to the migrants, the Catholic Church (as well as some mainline Protestant congregations) has offered Salvadoran, Guatemalan, and Honduran immigrants assistance and protection. Since the 1980s, these churches have created sanctuaries throughout the country to protect these migrants from deportation to life-threatening conditions in their homelands, have provided settlement assistance, championed the legal struggle that eventually granted Temporary Protected Status to Salvadorans as well as other legal battles that have extended protection to these immigrants, and issued pastoral calls to remind Catholics to welcome immigrants into their communities. This chapter focuses on churches and their efforts to change immigration policy and, in doing so, to change the broader context of reception for Central Americans and for other immigrants as well. The Catholic Church continues to play a pivotal role in all spheres of life in Central America as well as among Central American migrants in the United States.","PeriodicalId":118038,"journal":{"name":"The Oxford Handbook of Latinx Christianities in the United States","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132047530","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
