synonymous with Christianity without social impact\u2019 (2002b: 21-22). This declaration reveals a concern to rethink the results of Evangelical revivals.\u000ASummarizing the NPS information about values of a moral and spiritual character which they use to train their people, they are tools which could be useful to confront the challenges of daily life and protect from the world. The diffusion of values could help in the conformation of human resources through the leaders they form. At the same time through their links with other Neo-Pentecostal leaders, they run the risk of acculturation especially from influences coming from of the United States. Of course, the NPS reject certain types of behaviour which are related to secular humanism such as homosexuality and divorce. For Stoll the Evangelical \u2018reformers\u2019 encounter some restrictions in their internal and external contexts. He affirms that the shadow of globalization and the challenges of the consumerist society are affecting the mentality of the new generation of Evangelicals and this is threatening the values they share and the ability to serve as a vehicle for cultural change (1994:119).\u000AThe Evangelicals including the Neo-Pentecostals also have to confront criticism from the Catholic hierarchy and social scientists who call them \u2018foreignizing sects\u2019 that are threatening the Guatemalan culture and identity. Of course, the Catholic people do not recognize that most of their priests are foreigners as well. They take for granted that Guatemalan identity is related with the Catholic culture.103 Cleary points out that some Catholic priests have the idea that Latin Americans have a Catholic soul and a Catholic culture that bind them together. He says, \u2018I believe it impossible to maintain the fiction of a unity of Catholic culture in Latin America\u2019 (1998:10).\u000AThe indigenous leaders also question the Neo-Pentecostals because of their identification with the cultural values of the Unites States, and their rejection of indigenous\u000A103 In their declarations, the Catholic authorities take for granted that the \u2018Catholic religion\u2019 was a consubstantial part of Guatemalan culture, while the Evangelical religion, had a foreign origin. They do not recognize that it was imported from Spain and established in the townships through the decrees of the Spanish Crown as the official religion. In Guatemala at present the majority of the Catholic priests are of foreign extract as was mentioned in chapter two of this thesis.\u000A202\u000A
