ABSTRACT Over the years, Christian historiography has overlooked Carrie Judd Montgomery‟s (1858-1946) significant contribution to both the Divine Healing movement and Pentecostalism. Since the extent of her effect within both movements as a whole has been greatly unexamined, the purpose of this thesis is to recover her forgotten life and theology and to discover her impact. Montgomery‟s healing account in 1879 and her early literature acted as a “Tipping Point” within American Evangelicalism to turn Christians from believing that it was good to suffer unto God, to them believing that God wanted to heal. Her healing homes were also among some of the earliest in the country. These things in addition to her early contribution to the formation of the doctrine of healing in the atonement make Montgomery one of the most influential people in the American Divine Healing movement. She additionally influenced early Pentecostalism. Following her 1908 tongues experience, Montgomery spread Pentecostal themes throughout her networks. She introduced many significant leaders to healing and to the Pentecostal Spirit baptism who later built and expanded the movement in profound ways. An analysis of Montgomery‟s writings from 1880-1920, reveal that the prayer of faith in James 5 and healing in the atonement were two of the major foundations in her theology of healing. The implications of these lived out in relation to suffering and the gift of healing demonstrate that neither one of these was really necessary since healing was already available in the finished work of Christ to those who appropriated it. An analysis of her Pentecostal pneumatology shows that Montgomery actively pursued the fullness of the Spirit, also at times referred to as “Spirit baptism,” both before and after her own 1908 tongues experience. While the manifestation of tongues enhanced her spirituality, added a new flavor to her ministry, and caused her to re-interpret past experiences through a Pentecostal perspective, it did not produce any major shifts within her theology of healing. In light of her experiences with the Spirit throughout the years, a proposed redefinition of the Pentecostal Spirit baptism is presented. In conclusion, Montgomery‟s approach to the newer manifestations of the Spirit and her relentless pursuit of the “fullness of the Spirit” however that looked in her generation can similarly inform present day approaches to revival. DEDICATION This thesis is dedicated to my parents who have always been there to support and encourage me in everything that I have followed my heart to do Joseph and Deanna Miskov Thank both for your unconditional love and belief in me. I love you dearly. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This work has taken me on quite a journey through the past four years. It was only after I moved from California to England so that I could study revivals that I then came across Carrie Judd Montgomery‟s story. That she also lived the majority of her life in California makes this study even more meaningful. Throughout this research, I have had the opportunity to intersect with many great people from both continents along the way. Just a few are mentioned below. England I am greatly indebted to Allan Anderson for introducing me to Carrie in his Spreading Fires book. His comments and insights in relation to my work and his friendship have been a great support. I am also grateful to Mark Cartledge whose feedback on my work and care for me as a person is something that I will always appreciate. His wife Joan has been a blessing in connecting me with employment during my time here and it has been a great privilege to journey along side of his daughter Becky in her pursuit after God. My colleague Gerald King has helped me with feedback on my work over the past few years. I want to also thank all my other colleagues and Andrew Davies here at the University of Birmingham for their encouragement and helpful feedback during the seminars. Others like, Lisa and Ngoma let me stay in their home for a few weeks when I needed a place to stay and their encouragement and excitement for my work has been a blessing. Special thanks to Becky, Craig, and Ben Whitelaw for their friendship and support here. Yogi Pardhi, Ania Kolonko, Than Pham, Sara Husseini and other post graduate students I have shared life with while here have enriched me through their friendship. I want to thank my church family at Birmingham Vineyard Network House (McNeils, Kay, Colin, Jo and many others) and more recently the church plant of Grace Vineyard (Inksters, Bristows, and the others) for all the support, encouragement, friendship, and family away from home I have experienced in you. Special thanks to Bonnie and Margaret for their excitement in relation to my paper for the Society of Pentecostal Studies conference in 2010 which encouraged me to publish Spirit Flood: Rebirth of Spirit Baptism for the 21st Century in light of the Azusa Street Revival and the life of Carrie Judd Montgomery. The Healing on the Streets team, Jackie Tearle, Sandra Eagle, Becky Cartledge, Nick Corbett, and the rest of the gang, it has been such a privilege and honor to bring God‟s kingdom of love and healing to the people in the heart of the city. You are all beautiful people. A very special thanks to all those who have been a part of the Silver to Gold project in one way or another. It was nice to have another outlet besides academics during my time here. Jo Bullock, Affi Luc and Alice, Emma Rushton, Andrew, Joe, and many others are just a few of the many who have been an incredible support to me. Also, Alex and Christy, Shivani, Mal, and Tracy, trips to Starbucks have been a wonderful break and I value each one of you. California I can not thank my family enough for all their support and love throughout my life. I am super blessed to have such supportive and encouraging parents. Thanks mom and dad for everything! My brother is an inspiration who goes into the heart of disaster struck countries to bring relief and support to those who need it the most. My sister has such a beautiful and pure faith and she has to be one of the best single mothers I have ever seen in my life. Thank you for always rooting for me sis. Justin, thanks for going after God, you are a special young man with a heart exploding with compassion for others. My Aunt Adrienne and Uncle Fred have always been very encouraging as has my grandfather Perry Winslow who I am very grateful for his support in this project. Thanks to my whole extended family for all the support! Thanks to David McNutt, the Pewthers, Bob Fulton, Ade and Frannie Collie, the Scherers, Jamie Gillentine, Linda Costa, and the many others who have believed in, supported, and prayed for me during my time here. Yadira, Ruthie, Cristina, Davina, Laurie, and so many other precious friends who have journeyed with me over the past years, your friendship is like gold to me! To the ladies from my small group who are now all grown up and many married, I love that you are following your hearts and living the beautiful purposes God has put in your heart. Keep shining and know that you do make a difference! Financial help I am thankful for the financial support in various ways through Perry Winslow, Ade and Frannie Collie, Linda Costa, the McNutts, the Inksters, The Panacea Society, Gilchrist Educational Trust, Ithiel Conrad Clemmons Student Travel Award, The Foundation for Pentecostal Scholarship (www.tffps.org), the Roberts Fund from the University of Birmingham, and the amazing ways that God never ceases to amaze me in how He comes through again and again to take care of me. Research I am indebted to Daniel Albrecht who went before to pave the way to help make this study possible. With a much harder job of accessing resources than today, he saw the gold inside of Carrie nearly twenty years ago and laid important foundations. I am thankful for Kimberly Alexander and her work in relation to Carrie as well as her encouragement. Cecil M. Robeck took extra time to invest his thoughts into my completed thesis to help refine it even more. I greatly value and appreciate his excitement and encouragement for this work. I am grateful for Paul Chappell, David Petts, Jennifer Stock, Espinosa Gastón, Paul King, Joe McIntyre and all of the others who have recognized something significant in Carrie to include her in their narratives. Thanks to David Roebuck for providing me with an opportunity to have Silver to Gold and Spirit Flood available at the Society of Pentecostal Studies conferences.

    I AM Because YOU ARE! RJM TIMOR LESTE 06/09/2020- NEWSLETTER-03 With a firm commitment to alleviate the poor education, poverty incidence and all the accompanying social ills, the Sisters of the Religious of Jesus and Mary in Timor-Leste strive to devote their energy and resources to “ Educating for Life.” Thus began our story in the social sector of the courtry, in collaboration with the Jesuit Social Service. Br. Noel Oliver SJ and Sr. Mary Francis RJM with Mana Manuella began to respond to the needs of the women of Ulmera. The Tais groups were born in 2015. Soon the necessity for full time committement was felt and and in 2017 Sr. Vidya Pathare RJM stepped in as the Project Co- ordinator for Social Interventions. And so began the RJM- Jesuit venture. On 30th July 2019, the National Prison of Timor Leste granted permission to start rehabilitation and income generating programmes of weaving Tais for the female and handicrafts for the male inmates. Here are the success stories of two inmates interviewed by Sr. Vidya. I am Amer. I was in the military. I enjoyed my life with food, clothes, women and vices. My crime- I speculated that a neighbour used black magic and murdered my friend and in a state of drunkenness, I snatched the away the life of this woman, leading me to 18 years of imprisonment first in Becora Prison and then to Gleno. I am grateful for the on-anger management and music lessons I had in the prison. I met God in the prison especially in the Sisters and Priests who visited us.

  • Christianity, Islam, and Nationalism in Indonesia
    Christianity, Islam, and Nationalism in Indonesia As the largest Muslim country in the world, Indonesia is marked by an extraordinary diversity of languages, traditions, cultures, and religions. Christianity, Islam, and Nationalism in Indonesia focuses on Dani Christians of West Papua, providing a social and ethnographic history of the most important indigenous population in the troubled province. It presents a captivating overview of the Dani conversion to Christianity, examining the social, religious, and political uses to which they have put their new religion. Farhadian provides the first major study of a highland Papuan group in an urban context, which distinguishes it from the typical highland Melanesian ethnography. Incorporating cultural and structural approaches, the book affords a fascinating look into the complex relationship among Christianity, Islam, nation making, and indigenous traditions. Based on research over many years, Christianity, Islam, and Nationalism in Indonesia offers an abundance of new material on religious and political events in West Papua. The book underlines the heart of Christian–Muslim rivalries, illuminating the fate of religion in late-modern times. Charles E.

  • Giving Room to the Anointing: Carrie Judd Montgomery's Influence On
    chapter 5 Giving Room to the Anointing: Carrie Judd Montgomery’s Influence on Women in Ministry Jennifer A. Miskov Introduction Carrie Judd Montgomery (1858–1946) was a leader in her generation who created space to launch many powerful women into ministry. By regularly celebrating and imparting her testimonies to others, she became an early pioneer in the Divine Healing Movement in North America1 as well as played an important role for the Holiness Movement.2 Additionally, Montgomery’s 1 “The Divine Healing Movement roughly spans from 1870 to the early twentieth century. Faith Cure, Faith Healing, and Divine Healing were all used to refer to the same American move- ment of which Carrie was a part.” This movement was birthed out of the Holiness Movement and was ecumenical in nature. For a more in-depth overview of the Divine Healing Move- ment, see Jennifer A. Miskov, Life on Wings: The Forgotten Life and Theology of Carrie Judd Montgomery (1858–1946) (Cleveland, tn: cpt Press, 2012), 57–69.

See also Paul Gale Chappell, “The Divine Healing Movement in America” (Ph.D. diss., Drew University, 1983). 2 Some of the themes of the Holiness Movement were absolute surrender, purity, and holi- ness. See Hannah Whitall Smith, The Christian’s Secret of a Happy Life (Chicago: F.H. Revell, 1883. Reprint, usa: Kessinger Publishing, n.d.) for one example of Holiness literature. Phoebe Palmer, Charles Cullis and others were advocates and leaders within the Holiness Movement.

    Page 1 of 17 A.B. and B.B. Albert Benjamin Simpson (A.B.) and the Crisis Experience of Sanctification Criticized by Benjamin Breckenridge Warfield (B.B.)1 A Representative2 Response from Ernie Klassen3 4 The Christian and Missionary Alliance believes in sanctification as both a crisis experience, as well as an ongoing progressive experience in the life of the believer. Our Alliance World Fellowship (AWF) statement of faith affirms It is the will of God that each believer should be filled with the Holy Spirit and be sanctified wholly,(22) being separated from sin and the world and fully dedicated to the will of God, thereby receiving power for holy living and effective service.(23) This is both a crisis and a progressive experience wrought in the life of the believer subsequent to conversion.(24) [22]1 Thessalonians 5:23, [23] Acts 1:8, [24] Romans 6:1–14 (Alliance Statement of Faith in the USA and AWF, Article 7). A.B. Simpson believed, experienced and taught that the believer could and should be “wholly sanctified” as a definite post-conversion crisis experience, followed by a new progressive dynamic of growth in holiness and effectiveness in service. Some Alliance thinkers, leaders, pastors and members either have no awareness of or no longer believe, experience or teach these things. Why? Many reasons, but one is hidden doubt or even open misgivings about their truthfulness and biblical veracity. This is significant, with potential serious negative implications which I believe we see on our Alliance landscape both nationally and internationally. Benjamin Breckenridge Warfield (BB) represents an entire school of thought of those who deny the existence of a crisis experience of sanctification subsequent to conversion.

  • The American Church and the Formation of the Anglican Communion, 1823-1853
    The American Church and the Formation of the Anglican Communion, 1823-1853 By the Reverend Robert Semple Bosher, Ph.D. Evanston, Illinois: Seabury-Western Theological Seminary, 1962 I In John Dryden’s poem The Hind and the Panther, there is a passage that ridicules the Church of England for her friendless isolation in Christendom: “Thus, like a creature of a double kind, In her own labyrinth she lives confined; To foreign lands no sound of her is come, Humbly content to be despised at home.” But a century and a half later, we find John Henry Newman quoting those same lines, and asserting: “That day of rebuke is passed. That which is fruitful lives; the English Church, the desolate one, has children . This is our own special rejoicing in our American relations; we see our own faces reflected back to us in them, and we know that we live. We have proof that the Church, of which we are, is not the mere creation of the State, but has an independent life, with a kind of her own, and fruit after her own kind. Men do not gather grapes of thorns or figs of thistles; the stream does not rise higher than the spring; if her daughter can be, though the State does not protect, the mother too could bear to be deserted by it ... The American Church is our pride as well as our consolation.”1 The special role of the American Church in the evolution of modern Anglicanism has not been fully recognized, largely because the history of the Anglican Communion has not yet been written.
