To describe it as such would obscure the complicated cultural history of the region while belying the lived experiences of believers and the dynamic transformations in the religious field that have distinguished the longue durée of colonial and postcolonial Latin America. Diversity, heterodoxy, and pluralism have always been more useful descriptors of religion in Latin America than orthodoxy or homogeneity, despite the ostensible ubiquity of Catholic identity.

  • The Light of the World in Greater Los Angeles
    $ The Journal of CESNUR $ Field Report: The Light of the World in Greater Los Angeles Donald A. Westbrook San Diego State University daw3@protonmail. com We will always be by your side, we have promised to the Lord, We will never stray from your side, you’re Anointed by our God; Our hearts are overflowing and give glories to the Lord, For HE made you an Apostle for salvation of our souls. “All Glory Be to God,” English translation of Andres Orduna Arguello’s “La Gloria Sea a Dios,” The Light of the World Hymnal (2018, 578) ABSTRACT: La Luz del Mundo (LLDM, “The Light of the World”) is a Mexican-born restorationist or “primitive” Christian church that dates to the 1920s. Under the leadership of its second Apostle, Samuel, and now under the guidance of its third Apostle, Naasón, LLDM has increasingly sought to expand its base beyond Mexico (where it is the second largest religious group after the Catholic Church) and now boasts a presence of millions in over 50 nations. This short article, based on fieldwork conducted at churches in southern California, surveys the church’s history in the Greater Los Angeles Area and examines some forms of LLDM community and non-profit engagements. The tight community networks established by LLDM members around places of worship have contributed to social improvements (decreased crime, increases in home value, opening of businesses, increased civic participation and recognition from local authorities, etc.). This phenomenon was evident in East Los Angeles, where hundreds of members live in the neighborhood that surrounds the most significant LLDM temple in the region.

  • Iglesia Pentecostal La Luz Del Mundo
    David Galarza New York Landmarks Conservancy Common Bond Vol. 8, No. 3 Preservation Profile: Iglesia Pentecostal La Luz Del Mund (Light of the World Pentecostal Church) Our church, Iglesia Pentecostal: La Luz Del Mundo, is a Spanish-speaking Assemblies of God congregation founded in 1944 to serve the spiritual needs of the large Hispanic population in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. In 1955 we bought our present building on South Ninth Street from a Lutheran congregation. This building was exactly what an active and growing congregation with a dynamic program of worship and ministry needed. We had an average Sunday attendance of about SOO, and we conducted a number of programs and activities, including a large Sunday school, prayer services, bible study groups, the Royal Rangers (an Assemblies of God version of the Boy Scouts), and the Missionettes (an Assemblies of God version of the Girl Scouts). Our new building contained a spacious sanctuary and many secondary spaces, including a social hall, chapel, and numerous Sunday school rooms, and provided more than enough space to meet our needs. Our new building was actually quite old when we bought it. Constructed of brownstone and brick, it had been built for the New England Congregation congregational Church between 1851 and 1852. The early history of that congregation is illustrious. The pastor at the time the church was built was Thomas K. Beecher, brother of the famous Henry Ward Beecher, whose own congregation was nearby in Brooklyn Heights, and who, with his sister Harriet Beecher Stowe, was prom' prominent in the history of the abolition. The New England Congregational Church also played an act' active role in the movement.

  • The Rise of La Luz Del Mundo in Texas
    $ The Journal of CESNUR $ The Rise of La Luz del Mundo in Texas J. Gordon Melton Baylor University, Waco, Texas [email protected] ABSTRACT: La Luz del Mundo, a large and relatively new Christian denomination, originated in Mexico in 1926 even as the Roman Catholic religious hegemony was being challenged by a spectrum of Protestant and post-Protestant groups. The new church has complex roots, one being the still relatively new Pentecostal movement, which spread from Los Angeles into Mexico early in the twentieth century. La Luz del Mundo was founded by a young Mexican visionary who emerged from an initial contact with God with a unique mission. The Apostle Aarón began to develop his church, La Luz del Mundo (The Light of the World), in Guadalajara. It followed a unique version of Arian Christianity, which recognized the one God the Father and his Son Jesus Christ, and additionally restored the office of Apostle to its primary role in church leadership. In 1960, La Luz del Mundo entered Texas, the state where Pentecostalism was receiving its greatest support. In its 60 years of life thereafter, the church has experienced a steady increase in membership year-by year. Its success in the state has been capped by the construction of a headquarters temple in Houston. KEYWORDS: La Luz del Mundo, Pentecostalism, Pentecostalism in Texas, Religion in Texas, Houston La Luz del Mundo Temple. Note: This article has emerged from a larger project devoted to the production of a history of Pentecostalism in Texas. To date, as this project has proceeded, a series of papers and one monograph have appeared (Melton 2015, 2018, 2019a, 2019b).
