The purpose of this session is to discuss data that demonstrates the complexity of the relationship between evangelical communities, women, and their conditions of existence within a State (under the Democratic Rule of Law).  As a result of the last presidential elections in Brazil, there is a perception of the use of “moral agendas” as vote-getters among evangelicals. However, the notion of morality alone does not solve a bigger problem for many evangelical communities, mostly made up of black women. The bigger problem being the conditions of existence on the margins in the face of a State that does not reach them. In this sense, this SHARP Talk will discuss how a racial/racist State project and evangelical institutions do or do not constitute community possibilities of existence in Brazil, highlighting the agency of evangelical women and their production of health.
