- Title
Spiritual Demands Among Minorities and Elites.

- Abstract
In the Americas the work of theology is challenged by processes of subordination, resistance and hope in minorities of various sorts (victims of discrimination, the powerful, believers, the indifferent). When we do our thinking with despised peoples and contexts, we come into contact with the Mystery of the other. Global processes fragment the minorities and put a distance between them; I emphasize what happened in the situation of the indigenous, in Central America, Chile, the base communities. There are neo-religious and postmodern promises that compete with attachment to God. The coincidence with the 'minority' practice of Jesus and the communities offers us interpretative guides for facing the challenges of today.
