The dossier that is presented in the following pages, entitled «The Church and Independence in Latin America, particularly in the cases of Chile and Peru (Arequipa)», arose in a work meeting held at the Pontifical Catholic University of Valparaíso in October 2018. Said session —colloquium— was the result of a previous agreement between the Ibero-American Studies Program (PEI*sur), of said university and the Center for Peruvian Studies (CEP) of the Catholic University of São Paulo, Arequipa, and therefore had the presence of academics from both houses. It is, of course, very pertinent and necessary to thank the efforts made by the then director of the CEP, colleague Fernando Valle Rondón, whose enthusiasm continues to give strength to new activities to be developed -so we hope- among our universities in contexts not only of greater institutional knowledge, but also in terms of supporting any initiative that grounds and makes more understandable the needs for greater economic, social and cultural integration between our societies
