Journal Title: Prohominum - Year 2024, Vol 6, Issue 4
Abstract
The present investigation is a brief entry on the power relations in the Pentecost House of Prayer of Peru in Mollepata-Ayacucho. Its objective was to show and unravel the power relations in the Peruvian Pentecostal prayer house of Mollepata-Ayacucho, and the forms of capital: cultural, social, symbolic and economic. The methodological proposal is qualitative, with an ethnographic approach, which allowed us to describe, understand and analyze the testimonies of the members of the house of prayer; The research instruments were participant observation and semi-structured interviews with members of the congregation. As a main result, it was evident that the power relations and hierarchies existing in the Pentecost House of Prayer of Peru in Mollepata-Ayacucho reveal how power becomes evident through a command structure, the internal rules that guide the operation of the church and the management of symbolic and cultural resources by the pastor, as well as her strategy to legitimize her position as leader of the religious community. It is concluded that there are power relations legitimized by the norms that govern the congregation, which are supported by the interpretation of the Bible, which for the congregation has a normative nature, so that it is considered the "holy scriptures”
