Abstract:
This study has as objective show how was happened the insertion of the Protestant
Christianity in the town of Uirauna - PB, represented by the church, Evangel
Assembly of God, in the middle of a society with catholic traditions. This town was
agreed to be denominated as "land of the priests" due to the high number of young
bom in this place that has been ordered as priests, and also by the town's origin be
connected to a catholic family that have a priest son, known by Father Franca. Is
visible that in a society rooted by the speech and catholic representation, any person
that was determined to be outside the standard of this religiousness, would be facing
acceptance issues, because we are talking about an inlander community, small, with
traditional families, who cherishes the customs of the catholic religion. Thus, was in
the middle of this society that the Protestantism was gradually inserted till
consolidate, with your own thoughts, customs, faith, that differs from the Catholic
doctrine, although both be originated by the Christianity. For this, we intend to
analyze the representations of religiosity that guided the Paraiba's state in the
twentieth century, both Catholicism as Protestantism, as well the events that led the
thoughts in an Uirauna of priests, and also the origin of the church, Evangel
Assembly of God, so then, we can show the insertion of this faithful in this town, the
focus of this study.
