Christian base communities  

Definición

  • Christian base communities are small, grassroots neighborhood groups dedicated to reading the Bible and encouraging participants to mobilize in order to achieve social justice. The Second Vatican Council provided much of the theological and political basis for these groups, and they emerged throughout the Catholic world but became especially significant in the Latin American countryside.
