Abstract

Non Catholic Confessional Entities constitute a varied typology due to the Spanish laws safeguard all kind of liberties, even religious freedom. They are groups that still have a little hold on the society. The most important ones are the Evangelical and the Baptist churchs, although minoritarian groups proliferate all over the country. Moreover, foreigner representations are numerous. In relation to their territorial distribution, besides the capital (Madrid), Levante coast and the southern part of the country show up. Thickly populated and touristic provinces present the biggest presence of these associations. Jew and Judaism are two equivalent concepts, although there is no coincidence between the practising group and the Jewish Community introduced in Spain. This essay approachs to the general study of both aspects, but it is centred on two topics: the situation of the practising Jewish Community and its numerical evolution. The research is based on bibliographical and documentary sources. The second one is essential, and it is centred on the records of Associations and Non Catholic Confessional Entities (1973 and 1977) from the Justice Ministry, and on the present legislation. The aim of this essay is not only a spacial analysis, but also to carry out a comparison with other entities and their situation.
