A church in the middle of a squatter encampment in Mato Grosso lends a semblance of stability to landless workers who have lived in their makeshift settlement for more than two years. They took up here after a landowner, backed by a local judge, forced them to move from land 18 miles (29 kilometers) south of here that they'd been granted by the Brazilian government. The dispute over local recognition of a federal land grant is a common one, and these peasants are just a few of Brazil's millions of landless laborers.
