"The Protestant movement is characterised by fragmentation and numerous community-based sects are taking root...promoted through the evangelist capacity to unite political conservatism and modern technology...Pentecostals have been the first popular manifestation of protestantism and constitute an extensive engagement with the poor...As it offers the attraction of spirituality as well as a supportive community and a sense of purpose and identity, it flourishes in times of war or in new urban situations in the face of isolation and confusion." 1
