Evangelical Association of the Israelite Mission of the New Universal Covenant
[6] Described as being a political movement as well as a religious one from its inception,[1] on 30 September 1989 Ataucusi founded the Agricultural People's Front of Peru (Spanish: Frente Popular Agrícola del Perú or FREPAP).[9] The movement has also had strong apocalyptic beliefs, as Ataucusi would often state that the end of the world was nearing and would preach that he had personally delayed such end-of-the-world events.[3] Similar to other followers of Incan spirituality, many ascribe mystical qualities to the coca plant, although members may not smoke tobacco or drink alcohol.[1] The followers of the Evangelical Association of the Israelite Mission of the New Universal Covenant are easily distinguished from members of other religions in Peru due to their unique attire.[1] The group has also been accused of promoting homophobia due to its literal interpretation of the bible, with one member claiming that LGBT people had "evil embedded in their hearts and their blood".
