Description
Summary:Among the most widely-cited aspects of Salvadoran life in the United States is the extent to which Salvadorans constitute a transnational community. This transnationalism manifests itself in nearly every aspect of community life, especially religion. In this article we outline four key dimensions of Salvadoran religious transnationalism. First, we note the importance of doctrine regarding evangelism in shaping the transnational textures of Salvadoran religiosity. Second, we offer examples of structural transnationalism built into denominations and churches. Third, we shed light on the transnational dimensions of the Sanctuary Movement of the 1980s. Fourth, we examine cultural celebrations of Salvadoran religious figures. By way of conclusion, we note areas of further research.
