Fiesta Spirit Moving the American Church

New research shows Latinos are joining evangelical and Pentecostal churches at such a brisk rate that they're shaking up American Christianity.

Daniel Alvarez teaches religious studies at Florida International University. He says reserved congregations get ready for a change.

Alvarez said, "Hispanics kind of bring a sense of community, a sense of belonging, a sense of closeness, that shatters traditional boundaries. So I think that with Hispanics, not only physical space but spiritual space kind of collapses on itself and you get those kinds of closeness. I think when my Anglo brothers and sisters discover that, they'll find it quite fascinating."
