Description
Summary:This article offers two case studies of faith-based organizing and programming in Colombia and Peru to better understand the peacebuilding work of Latin American evangelical Christians and how their identification as faith-based actors impacts their work. Evangelical Christians are understudied actors in the peacebuilding field, and our cases illustrate the need for careful sifting within this particular Christian movement. We draw on assemblage theory to delineate the particular religious logics, civic commitments, and organizational practices employed by faith-based NGO leaders to sustain broader projects of transformation in Colombia and Peru.
