Sumario:The formation of the Ecumenical Movement for Human Rights (MEDH) on the eve of the 1976 military coup was characterized by the late participation –August 1982– of one of the country’s main Lutheran Christian institutions, the United Evangelical Lutheran Church (IELU). Based on an analysis of this institution’s archives, as well as fieldwork data obtained through interviews and an exercise in analytic autoethnography (Anderson, 2006), I propose to examine the development of the internal debates that the process of IELU’s adherence to the MEDH provoked, in order to better understand the reasons for such a delay.
