Religion may play an essential role in the lives of some immigrants especially if the church provides an avenue for assimilation and integration into the host country.I find this to be true for catholics from the Americas and Asia.It provides help with immigration services and a sense of collectivism congruent with cultural overtones.Some immigrants could be viewed as down right atheistic especially from Cuba.On the other hand protestantism is making inroads in the once predominantly catholic Americas because the protestants in the Americas offer social services that the catholic churches do not. Haitian,Jamaican,and other caribbean ministers have high visibility among the black community in contrast to other American churches.Btw, why the British use the term Anglican and in the U.S it is referred to as Episcopalian? Is Angican used in Canada?
