Uruguay
The partner church in Uruguay for the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) is the same as one of our partner churches in Argentina, the Waldensian Evangelical Church of the River Plate, and 1856 marks the beginning of that church ’ s ministry in the region. The PC(USA) supports our brothers and sisters of Christ ’ s church in Uruguay as they commit themselves to evangelism, social advocacy and social action towards justice.
Uruguay was the first country in Latin America to constitutionally separate church and state. Unlike the relationship in many other Latin American countries, the Catholic Church is not subsidized by the government.
