PDF Article: Creps, Earl . "The Charismatic Renewal at Midlife"

Abstract: This article presents a snapshot of the North American Charismatic movement in the mid-1990s just prior to the onset of renewal at Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship, Brownsville Assembly of God and countless other places. Comparing the plight of the renewal to that of Gideon, I reflect here on what went wrong with the movement and what it would take to put things back on track.

PDF Article: _____. "More: First Impressions of a Secondary Revival.,"

Abstract: Local church renewals centered at Brownsville Assembly of God in Pensacola, Florida and the Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship in the mid-1990s have had a global impact. This 1998 paper, written while pastoring a renewal church, reflects on my early encounters with the Toronto "stream." While hundreds of thousands attended events in both locales, many millions more have been influenced by what I call "secondary" exposures in the thousands of churches touched by "the river of God." In this essay, I reflect on my own "secondary" experiences, and suggest possible guidelines for pastoral leadership in a season of renewal.
