Description
Summary:To answer the question, "From which word is the church supposed to be created," I briefly delineate what I understand to be the reality and circumstances in which Latin American churches are situated. Then, I present a basic outline of main factors constituting the reality of these churches as churches. Particular attention is given to the Evangelical church at La Plata. Subsequently, I present essential perspectives from the theological tradition of the Reformation-particularly its Lutheran expression-that are most important and need to be regained, while taking into account complex "external" and "internal" realities that churches are facing in the current day and age.
