Pastor Hugo Padilla calls himself a Menno-Pente — Mennonite and Pentecostal. A graduate of the college-level program of SEMILLA Latin American Anabaptist Seminary in Guatemala, he says Anabaptist theology has helped to break down the rigid legalism of his Pentecostal tradition and inspire churches to become a living presence for the transformation of their communities.
