    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles “Rivers of Living Water”: The Movements and Mobility of Holiness-Pentecostals, 1837-1910 A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in History by Caroline Anne Bunnell Harris 2016 © Copyright by Caroline Anne Bunnell Harris 2016 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION “Rivers of Living Water”: The Movements and Mobility of Holiness-Pentecostals, 1837-1910 by Caroline Anne Bunnell Harris Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Los Angeles, 2016 Professor Stephen A. Aron, Chair This dissertation follows the fluid and dynamic movements of holiness and pentecostal worshipers who crossed boundaries of race, gender, language, and region at the end of the nineteenth century and beginning of the twentieth century. It demonstrates how the changeable, decentralized, and anti-institutional character of the holiness-pentecostal movement allowed for both radical social behavior and dynamic geographic mobility. The movement was in a constant state of flux as the sanctified traveled across the continent, as holiness ideas circulated amidst an explosion of print culture, and as worshipers moved in and out of socially transgressive practices. By the early twentieth century an expansive network of holiness and pentecostal folk, tied together by railroads and holiness newspapers, sprawled across the United States. The American holiness-pentecostal movement had flowed from the homes of Northern social reformers in the !ii 1840s, to black sharecroppers in the Mississippi Delta and white cotton farmers in East Texas after Reconstruction, and finally to the West at the turn of the century. Popular depictions of Los Angeles on the brink of the Azusa Street Revival describe a seed about to sprout, a woman in labor, or a tree being transplanted.

She married her second husband, Harold McPherson, in , and a son was born in After undergoing a near death experience in , Aimee began traveling and preaching at church meetings throughout Canada and the United States. She separated from McPherson in , and Aimee spent the next few years as an itinerant Petecostal minister, attracting a large following. She quickly attracted a huge following and generated a great deal of publicity with her lively meetings, which often included speaking in tongues and faith healing. She had a magnetic personality and adopted an angelic appearance: she usually dressed in a white flowing gown, and carried a small bouquet of flowers. From the early s, "Sister", as she was widely known, broadcast her sermons on the radio, which only increased her renown.

Abstract This thesis examines Oneness Pentecostalism from 1914 to 1931 via its initial interracial vision, the ministry of Garfield Thomas Haywood, and the Pentecostal Assemblies of the World. It attempts to rectify a one dimensional historical perspective which has ignored the significance of race in the restorative framework of the early movement, tracing its interracial fervor to the Azusa revival and its resistance to the Parham influenced U.S. south. Fresh historical detail informs assessment of the 1906 Azusa mission founding of the interracial PAW and Oneness Pentecostalism’s most obscure, yet vital early leaders, J.
