In preparing this article on the possibilities we foresee in the Evangelical Church of the River Plate ( Iglesia Evangélica del Río de la Plata – IERP) regarding the union of churches in our context, I realized that I first need to introduce the IERP in order to say what our vision is and then proceed to focus on our ecclesiology and role within ecumenical relationships in our area. This will then lead me to be better able to present our challenges and possibilities in the particular context of our location (in Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay), and the path we find we can walk towards building new relationships among churches.
