This project supports the dissertation research of a student in cultural anthropology. The project is to examine the social conditions under which evangelical Protestantism and "progressive" Catholicism have flourished to challenge the long- dominant folk Catholicism in a proletarianizing peasant village in Mexico. The project will assemble longitudinal data on socio- economic class, organizational resources, doctrines, political practices and beliefs of members of the three religious groups. Methods include survey, genealogical interviewing, detailed life histories, interviews with government and religious leaders, archival research and participant observation. The main question to be dealt with is the relation of religious affiliation to changes in socio-economic class position. This research is important because religious change is a striking fact of life in Latin America, and increased understanding of the conditions and consequences of this change will help us deal with the changing sectors of these societies.

该项目支持一名文化人类学学生的学位论文研究。该项目旨在考察福音派新教和“进步”天主教在墨西哥一个无产阶级化农民村庄蓬勃发展的社会条件，以挑战长期占主导地位的民间天主教。该项目将收集三个宗教团体成员的社会经济阶层、组织资源、教义、政治实践和信仰的纵向数据。方法包括调查、家谱访谈、详细生活史、政府和宗教领袖访谈、档案研究和参与观察。要处理的主要问题是宗教信仰与社会经济阶级地位变化的关系。这项研究很重要，因为宗教变化是拉丁美洲生活中一个引人注目的事实，增加对这种变化的条件和后果的了解将有助于我们应对这些社会中不断变化的部门。
