Introduction. Faith-based centers are major providers of residential treatment for substance use problems in Mexico, but relatively few studies have been conducted in this context. Objective. To explore factors associated with treatment retention in two faith-based (with different religious orientation) residential treatment facilities for male drug users in Tijuana, Mexico. Method. We conducted an exploratory follow-up study of 328 clients admitted during 2014-2015 to either an Evangelical Pentecostal center or a faith-based center without a specific religious affiliation. The main outcome was retention, defined as remaining in treatment for at least three months. Results. Among participants, the retention rate was 38.7%. Multivariate logistic regression models showed that age (OR 1.04; 95% CI [1.01, 1.06]; p = .002) and having used heroin or opioids in the past 30 days (OR .50; 95% CI [.25, 1.00]; p = .049) were associated with retention. Having a personal religious affiliation was associated with retention in the Evangelical Pentecostal center, but not in the center without a specific religious affiliation. Discussion and conclusion. The retention rate was low, but within the previously reported range. The interaction of personal religious affiliation and the religious orientation of the center suggests that a match between a person’s religious convictions and those of the center could be important for retention. More research is needed to clarify the utility of faith-based centers for religious and non-religious drug users.
<p><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: 'MetaPlusNormal';">Este trabajo analiza la postura de la Iglesia Metodista Episcopal de México ante la revolución maderista de 1910 a través de su órgano oficial. Se propone que el posicionamiento adoptado por la denominación ante la revolución fue un reflejo de su limitada capacidad para flexibilizar sus estructuras eclesiales. En última instancia, esto no sólo le impidió convertirse en un actor revolucionario, después de la Revolución tampoco pudo mantener sus espacios en el campo religioso. </span></p>
El objetivo de este artículo es reflexionar sobre la utilidad de las categorías “pentecostalismo”, “carismáticos” y “neopentecostalismo” para estudiar el cambio religioso en México. Para alcanzarlo, se analizan la trayectoria y el impacto de dos movimientos evangélicos en el campo religioso de Tijuana, específicamente durante su etapa de formación. Por lo tanto, cabe preguntarse hasta dónde es posible asumir que el neopentecostalismo constituye una oleada del pentecostalismo y que se le puede explicar con base en criterios doctrinales y litúrgicos tan amplios como la teología de la prosperidad y los dones espirituales. Dicho lo anterior se propone problematizar la categoría “neopentecostalismo” y limitar su utilización a las iglesias surgidas del movimiento carismático en las denominaciones pentecostales.
Durante la segunda mitad del siglo xix y la primera del xx, en Baja California se trató de trasformar a una iglesia católica misional en una diocesana, pero sin éxito. Sin embargo, a partir de la década de 1940 el nuevo vicario y la orden de los Misioneros del Espíritu Santo reorganizaron la estructura eclesial y aprovecharon las trasformaciones sociales, económicas y políticas ocurridas en Baja California. En este trabajo se analizan algunos aspectos del proceso de consolidación institucional de la Iglesia católica en la península, que desembocó en el establecimiento de la diócesis de Tijuana. Para explicarlo se consideran tres factores generales: la organización religiosa y el papel de las asociaciones laicas; el crecimiento demográfico de la zona norte y las relaciones entre el vicariato y las autoridades locales y también las internas.Palabras clave: historia religiosa; Iglesia católica; organización eclesiástica; relaciones Estado-Iglesia; poblamiento de Baja California. AbstractDuring the second half of the nineteenth century and the first of the following, in Baja California a missionary Catholic church was intended unsuccessfully to be transformed into a diocesan church. However, starting from the 1940s the new vicar and the Missionaries of the Holy Spirit reorganized the ecclesial structure and took advantage of the social, economic and political transformations that occurred in the peninsula. In this paper some aspects of the Catholic Church’s institutional consolidation process in Baja California, which led to the establishment of the Diocese of Tijuana, are analyzed. To explain the above three general factors are considered: 1) the religious organization and the role of lay associations in this transformation, 2) the Population growth in northern Baja California, and 3) the relationship of the vicariate with local authorities and within the church.Key words: religious history; Catholic Church; ecclesial organization; Church-State relations; settlement in Baja California.
