“This was achieved through the efforts, prayers, and perseverance of Christians who worked with respect, patience, and faith for over 30 years”, say evangelicals.

The National Executive branch of Argentina has officially recognised non-Catholic religious organisations as “religious legal entities” across the country.
The measure, signed by President Javier Milei, comes after many years of demands from evangelical Christian churches, leaders and communities for legal recognition as churches rather than as civil associations or foundations.
This recognition means that churches registered in the National Registry of Religions will be able to sign their accounting books directly, without having to adopt another legal form.
Now the provinces will have to adjust their mechanisms to allow this legal change. The General Justice inspectorate, which reports to the ministry of justice, will be responsible for coordinating all these actions.
“This was achieved thanks to the efforts, prayers and perseverance of Christians who have worked with respect, patience and faith to see this progress for over 30 years”, underlined the Christian Alliance of Evangelical Churches of the Republic of Argentina (ACIERA) in a statement.
ACIERA “celebrates this step as a victory for religious freedom, legal equality, and the strengthening of evangelical churches and other religious entities across the country”.
