The International Significance of Azusa Street

The International Significance of Azusa Street 1 The International Significance of Azusa Street It is a well-established fact that the Pentecostal Movement is one of the fastest growing renewal movements to make its appearance within the Church of the twentieth century. It is also widely accepted that the little Apostolic Faith Mission at 312 Azusa Street in downtown Los Angeles played a significant role in helping to promulgate both the distinctive experience and the developing theology of that movement.

Abstract

1 The International Significance of Azusa Street It is a well-established fact that the Pentecostal Movement is one of the fastest growing renewal movements to make its appearance within the Church of the twentieth century. It is also widely accepted that the little Apostolic Faith Mission at 312 Azusa Street in downtown Los Angeles played a significant role in helping to promulgate both the distinctive experience and the developing theology of that movement. The story of what was taking place on Azusa Street was first passed along by word of mouth through the scores of personal testimonies of those who had found their way to the Mission. Later, The Apostolic Faith, a four-page occasional newspaper published by the Mission beginning in September, 1906, carried the message not only across the United States, but around the world. In an article titled "The Seal of My Pentecost," Living Truths 6:12 (December, 1906), pp. 735-738, esp. 736, Thomas Ball Barratt stated that the news of the revival "at Los Angeles, in India and elsewhere" had all contributed to his personal quest for a Pente- costal experience. Barratt ultimately received his experience in New York, then returned to Scandinavia with the message.
