Abstract
My strongest initial impression and abiding recollection is of the very friendly receptions and hospitality we theological educators and church leaders from the United States invariably received from our Cuban hosts. I had hoped that we would be warmly received but was unsure in view of the tension during the week or so before our departure. The Reagan administration precipitated this tension by inaugurating the propaganda broadcasts over what it insensitively called “Radio Marti.” The delay in receiving our visas until the eve of our departure from Miami, occasioned apparently by the “Radio Marti” affair, heightened the anxiety somewhat.
