| Resumo: | The recent appearance of the indigenous evangelical movement on the Ecuadorian political scene (2000) is a historic fact that highlights two important aspirations of the Indian people. One is to recover the people`s right to freedom and justice, and to reject forms of exploitation and violence imposed by the current governing culture, modeled on neo-liberal economic principles. The other one deals with new forms of political organization based on a religious and ethnic identity, from which has resulted a rupture from the ideological control of the North American missionaries, who maintain that participation in political activities is contrary to God´s teachings and should consequently be seen as demonic. The division between “things of the world “ and “things of God” forged by the missionaries has begun to be examined and questioned with respect not only to political activity, but also to indigenous culture and religiousness |
