El drama de una fundadora. Exclusión y omisión de una líder del movimiento pentecostal chileno (1909-1910): Elena Laidlaw

The reconstructions that the social sciences, apologetic history and theology have realized on the origins of Chilean Pentecostalism have been characterized by a significant limitation: the creation of a distorted image or the simple absence of one of its founding leaders, Elena Laidlaw. The double objective of this article is to reconstruct and describe the role played by this woman in the birth of the Pentecostal movement, as well as the socio-religious conditions that generated her exclusion and omission from Protestantism and Chilean Pentecostalism. As a theoretical perspective we have used the dramaturgical theory of Turner, while as a methodology we have used the analysis of primary and secondary documentary sources. Keywords: drama, exclusion, Pentecostalism, Chile, Elena Laidlaw.
