Reports abounded of worshippers falling down at the altar, speaking in tongues, having dreams and visions, and experiencing divine healing. Tent meetings inspired curious onlookers to witness these phenomena for themselves. Following these revival meetings, Pentecostals organized, built churches, and expanded across the country, while many churches were beginning to decline. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHow did these Pentecostal \"holy rollers\" move from the fringe to take centre stage in Canada's religious landscape? Why is a religious group rooted in the early twentieth century, tied to Methodism and the Holiness movement, still so popular among followers from all walks of life, especially Indigenous peoples and new Canadians? In \u003ci\u003eAfter the Revival \u003c\/i\u003eMichael Wilkinson and Linda Ambrose ask these and other questions, arguing that the answers are tied to Pentecostalism's continued organizational efforts. Since 1919, the Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada (PAOC) has worked to establish order and steady growth by managing financial and material assets, offering programs designed to attract families and youth, and training leaders. While Pentecostalism sometimes reflects broader cultural trends and at other times resists them, the PAOC has grown steadily to become one of the largest evangelical denominations in Canada. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAddressing broader questions about how religious movements organize, establish an identity, and develop a subculture that flourishes, \u003ci\u003eAfter the Revival \u003c\/i\u003eexplores the fascinating history of Pentecostalism in Canada and the ways the church, represented by the PAOC, engages with Canadian society.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Wilkinson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0228003652\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780228003656\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McGill-Queen's University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/23\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.80d","brand":"Michael Wilkinson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49096663204095,"sku":"9780228003656","price":43.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/after-the-revival-michael-wilkinson-9780228003656","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
