Bogotá has become quite a religiously diverse community. There are representations of many Protestant sects and non-Christian faiths. The mainstream Protestant churches, the Baptists (Bautista), Lutheran (Luterana), Presbyterian (Presbiteriana), Methodists (Weysleyana), Disciples of Christ (Discípulos de Cristo) and Menonites (Menonita) all have houses of worship. Colombian Episcopalians and Anglicans have their own website to help orientate visitors (www.iglesiaepiscopal.org.co). There is even an Orthodox church (Iglesia Ortodoxo). For addresses of these temples, check the Páginas Amarillas under “Iglesias Bautistas.” Bogotá has a Monthly Friends Meeting; for the most recent contact information see: fwccworld.org/find_friends/index.php.
