High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Basic Ecclesial Communities (BECs), also called Basic Christian Communities, Small Christian Communities and Small Human Communities (or in the Philippines, Maliliit na Sambayanang Kristiyano) are units of parishes with a greater lay administrative and quasi-sacramental role. Some have contended that the movement has its origin and inspiration from Liberation Theology in Latin America. Others regard the emergence of the movement as part of the concrete realization of the communitarian model of the Church (as Communion and as People of God) that they believe was promoted by the Second Vatican Council. The communities are considered as a new way of being Church - the Church at the grassroots, neighborhood churches. It is considered a rejection of the pre-Vatican II organizational structure of the Church, organized as parishes, and designed to eventually supplant the parochial structure, and to provide for a greater ecclesial role for the laity, supplanting the sacramental priesthood.
