Interview With Dr Herbert Money (3)

You mentioned the Evangelical Union of South America. Does this represent the whole evangelical movement in Latin America?

No. The EUSA as it is popularly called in Latin America is not a union of evangelicals as a whole but refers only to a mission of that name. During the last decade of last century and the first of this one, the Regions Beyond Missionary Union began work in several countries of South America including Peru. However in 1912 this mission withdrew from the continent and the Evangelical Union of South America was organised to take over and develop the work thus started. The EUSA has been the parent body of the Iglesia Evangelica Peruana, the Peruvian Evangelical Church, which is the principal indigenous evangelical church in the Republic and of which I was an elder.
