		But until pressures escalated around the death of the Rev. Manuel Saquic in Chimaltenango last summer, he said, the NEPCG had not felt unified enough to protest those abuses, much less do so on an international scale.
		The outcry surrounding the death of Saquic demonstrates the influence of the NEPCG's increasingly organized Mayan presbyteries, developed in rural communities well acquainted with threats, intimidation, beatings, informers, and, twice in the past year in Chimaltenango, death.
		They hope their presence is seen as a witness that those who are threatened are not alone in the world, that an international church stands with them.
