Basic Ecclesial Communities (CEBs)

Groups linked to the Catholic Church, but formed by lay people (people who do not belong to religious orders) in order to unite the concerns of the Christian life with political participation. The CEBs work in poor communities, seeking to organize and guide them in the struggle for their rights. They emerged in the 1960s and today there are about 70,000 active nuclei throughout Brazil.
