contents Democracy through the spirit: the Universal Church and its interconnections with Brazilian democracy Alana Sá Leitão Antropología Brazil politics democracy Pentecostalism The connection between Evangelical church actors and contemporary Brazilian federal politics has raised many speculations, especially regarding the association of these churches with neoliberalism and populist governments. In a different manner, this article aims to show how churches from the third wave of Pentecostalism, and the Universal Church in particular, engage in the most recent historical phase of Brazilian democracy that began in the late 1980’s. The grow of Universal Church and the democratic development of Brazil are investigated in parallel here, giving light to the different political connections and arrangements this church has been part of in the last decades. This makes it possible to understand what the alliances between the Universal Church and the country’s presidency actually mean for both the church institution and its common members. 2023 artículo científico 0104-7183 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=401975113003 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4019/401975113003/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4019/401975113003/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4019/401975113003/401975113003.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4019/401975113003/movil 10.1590/1806-9983e650402 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=4019 Horizontes Antropológicos application/pdf Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul Horizontes Antropológicos (Brasil) Num.65 Vol.29
