Bronx Baptism

Film Info: Bronx Baptism – 1980 – 27 minutes

Distributor: Icarus Films

Summary: Film document, without narration, of a Pentecostal worship service in a Puerto Rican community in the South Bronx.  Fine presentation of Pentecostal worship styles.

Film notice taken (with permission) from the “Teaching Resources” list in Meredith McGuire’s Religion: The Social Context, third edition. Her 5th edition (available from Waveland Press: see www.religionthesocialcontext.com) does not contain the resource list. I have only traced some of these films to current distributors. Please post updated information about them, if you have it. – JS
