Latinos find a new spiritual home – Pentecostal and charismatic churches drawing Catholics away – New Jersey
Tagged: El Salvador, New JerseyPosted on: December 18th, 2006“The bongo drums and keyboard at Iglesia El Shaddai, a Pentecostal church in Elizabeth, are being played so briskly they can support a conga line. The El Salvadorian-born pastor shakes a tambourine, some women rock their hips and everyone sings praise to Jesus in Spanish.
Soon, the pastor takes the service down a notch. But just a notch. With his eyes shut, Renato Castro shouts “Gloria, Jesus Aleluya” and paces before 300 people.”
