Fé e resistências: movimento evangélico, rompimentos e formação de novas igrejas em Cajazeiras (1999-2011).

Abstract

The present work constitutes a study on the Evangelical Movement, in which it problematizes the disruptions and formation of interdenominational institutions and new churches in the city of Cajazeiras. The analysis begins from 1999 with the emergence of the Christian Community Church Assembly of the Righteous and extends until the year 2011, period that comprises the formation of the Baptist Fundamentalist Congregation and consequently the change of its name to Etienézer Batista Temple. The research seeks to understand historically the dimensions that have transformed these spaces of faith into spaces of tensions and disruptions. In the first moment it tries to present the transformations of the social spaces with the consolidation of the evangelical movement in the first years of the 21st century. Next, we discuss the combination of faith and tensions from the relations of power and power as well as from religious options in the scenario of globalization.
