The purpose of this article is to show the role of the Base Ecclesial Communities (CEBs) in the process of rebuilding civil society in the political violence of military dictatorships. For this, we focus on the cases of Chile and Brazil, two countries in which these communities create spaces for new practices of sociability among the popular sectors, becoming a major social movement for the return of democracy.
