<br/><br/> Charismatic  Renewal  and  Wesleyan  Identity  of  the  Methodist  Church  in  Cuba (1990-2010)This work contains a study about the charismatic renewal of the Methodist Church in Cuba  from  1990  to  2010.  The  main  objective  is  to  investigate  the  quantitative  and qualitative  growth  that  this  church has experienced,  taking  into account  the  tension between the charismatic renewal and the inheritance of the Wesleyan identity in that period.  A  distinctive  feature  is  that  it can  be  catalogued  as  a  charismatic  movement that happens and is contained within the Methodist church, without the occurrence of fragmentations or schisms. Another important aspect in this study is to interpret how the charismatic renewal has been  inserted within  the  Cuban  Methodist  context,  taking  into account  its  links  with the influence of the Pentecostal doctrine. It also demonstrates how a strengthening of  the  Wesleyan  identity  can  occur,  preserving  the  positive  elements  that  the Pentecostal phenomenon contributes in relation to the Methodist tradition. Finally,  a  call  is  made  for  the  consolidation  of  the  doctrine  of  sanctification, expressed in the love of God and neighbour, as one of the essential elements of the Wesleyan theology.  In  the  IMECU,  this  is one  of  the  pending  tasks  to  continue uniting   the   church   with   the  Wesleyan   purpose   of   extending   biblical   holiness throughout  the  earth.  It  is  recommended  the  emphasis  on  the  practice  of  this doctrine  in  all  educational  levels  of  the  church,  as  a  preventive action  before  the entry and proliferation of doctrinal elements alien to the Wesleyan identity.
