| Summary: | Without doubt one of the most strategic problems facing Protestant missions and churches in Latin America is that of relevant communication. This does not mean that communication in the past has been totally ineffective. The remarkable increase in the evangelical constituency indicates quite the contrary, for whereas one hundred years ago there was probably not one evangelical to two hundred and fifty Roman Catholics, at present there is an estimated one evangelical to every thirty-nine Roman Catholics. On the other hand, in terms of the expenditure of time, effort, and personnel, communication of the gospel appears to be surprisingly inadequate, seemingly superficial, and apparently indicative of the Protestant church's having reached a plateau of creative involvement in the life of the Latin American community.1 |
