Re: Hispanic Pentecostalism

If an anglo can throw in his 2 cents:

I have noted that latin churches tend to be more exuberant in their worship than those of the same belief systems in their areas. They also as a culture seem to be more expressive period, which most would say it a main attraction of the exodus from catholic to pentecostal.

But a couple other things stick out in my mind even more. I have observed a higher ratio of males and more families worshiping together. And I have noted that even when arriving late the first thing the families do is kneel in prayer until mind is on God before joining in the service.
