Revisiting grassroots ecumenical developments in Latin America, such as the church and society movement (1950s) and the Base Christian Communities movement (1970s), this book expands the concept of base ecumenism by engaging independent and Pentecostal communities in a religiously pluralistic Latin America. Furthermore, it compares base ecumenism with similar ecumenical initiatives in the history of the modern ecumenical movement, arguing that base ecumenism contributes fresh and renewing insights to this era of world Christianity. Paying special attention to the "popular reading of the Bible" movement, this book highlights the agency of women, racially minoritized groups, and youth.
