Book excerpt: This ethnography examines the role of language and embodied behaviors in producing a congregational split in a Catholic parish serving Guatemala's Q'eqchi' Maya people. Drawing on a range of methods from linguistic and cultural anthropology, author Eric Hoenes del Pinal examines how the introduction of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal movement in the parish produced a series of debates between parishioners that illustrate the fundamentally polyvocal nature of Catholic Christianity.
