Abstract

- 17- THE CONTRIBUTION OF DENOMINATIONALLY TRAINED CLERGYMEN TO THE EMERGING PENTECOSTAL MOVEMENT IN CANADA by Ronald Kydd Walter Hollenweger, in his classic study The Pentecostals, attempted to get a better understanding of the group's beliefs and practices by analyzing the "Modern Shamans"--those who were ministering among therm. Having examined short biographies of four hundred Pentecostal pastors, he makes a number of significant observations. One of them is the fact that 42.6% of his sample for whom previous occupations were known had been ministers in other denominations2 before becoming Pentecostal pastors.3 'Walter J.
