From History, it is about studying the editorial defense made by Presbyterian pastors, especially Mexicans, against the “imposition” of Casa Unida de Publicaciones, which was the publishing company founded in 1919 based on cooperation between the various denominations. evangelical companies established in Mexico, which led to the closure of Casa Presbiteriana de Publicaciones, a publishing house formed in 1885. For this to happen, at first the North American missionaries working in Mexico met in Cincinnati (1914), to listen to the CCLA proposal, this in the midst of an economic crisis generated by the civil war and the “invasion” of North American soldiers to our country; In the second stage, two evangelical meetings took place (1917 and 1919) where Mexican pastors and missionaries from all the missions sat down to discuss the viability of the Cincinnati Plan, arranging to accept both the new company and its newspaper. Discontent grew among a group of Presbyterians when they saw their organizations, churches and companies in the hands of other denominations, so they began to plan the “recovery” and the determination of a “national” and “Presbyterian” church, in such a way that A discourse and several actions were generated, which could be defined, of strong intolerance towards the “others”, since it is clear that Casa Unida de Publicaciones was not the same as Casa Presbiteriana de Publicaciones, despite the strong dependence that they subsequently assumed.
