Protestantism in the Philippines
Protestant Christianity arrived in the Philippines during the late 19th and the early 20th century. American missionaries were mostly responsible for introducing Protestantism, but some were founded locally.
==History==
Protestantism developed in the Philippines after the Spanish–American War when the United States acquired the Philippines from the Spanish with the 1898 Treaty of Paris.〔Deats, 1967, p. 91〕 Under American rule, the Catholic Church was disestablished as the state religion, giving Protestant missionaries more opportunities to enter the islands. In addition, there was a backlash against the Hispanic Catholicism and a greater acceptance of Protestantism represented by the Americans.〔Deats, 1967, p. 92〕 The dominance of the Catholic Church in all aspects of life in Spanish Philippines and Protestant anti-Catholic animosity were prominent reasons for the start of Protestant missionary activity.〔Anderson, 1969, p. 298〕 In 1901 the Evangelical Union was established in the Philippines to co-ordinate activities amongst the Protestant denominations and lay the foundations for an indigenous religious movement.〔Deats, 1967, p. 95〕
The first Protestant service held in the Philippines was on Sunday, August 28, 1898. Chaplain George Stull, a member of The Methodist Episcopal Church,〔Known since 1968 as The United Methodist Church〕 came with the occupying forces. Although his primary duty was to minister to the soldiers, he recorded in his diary that that first service, held in an old Spanish dungeon facing Manila Bay, was attended not only by his own men but by some Filipinos as well. He commented on this service:〔(The Story of Methodism in the Philippines - EARLY BEGINNINGS )〕
"That the power of God will use this day to make a good Catholic better, any weak American stronger, any backslider ashamed, and the gloomy old dungeon the beginning of wonderful things in these Islands, is my prayer."〔Homer Stuntz, 1940, pp. 415-416〕
