Pentecostal 100th Anniversary


In the church Pentecostal Church Norsjo



This month marks the 100th anniversary of the Azusa Street revivals in Los Angeles, which launched the American Pentecostal movement. How far has the Pentecostal movement come over the last century? What is its influence on other branches of Christianity? How are Pentecostals moving into the mainstream of American culture? Kim Lawton looks at the impact of one of the fastest growing faith groups in the world.

"There's very little precedent in all of Christian history for a movement which has grown as rapidly as they have and spread around the world as rapidly," notes Professor Harvey Cox of Harvard Divinity School. "They're certainly not at the fringes anymore."
