Pentacostalists to mark centennial

The Washington Times reports:

This year marks the 100th anniversary of a Los Angeles-based revival that emerged from humble beginnings to become one of the 20th century's most significant religious events.
The Azusa Street Revival, a series of prayer meetings that began in the spring of 1906 in a former stable in downtown Los Angeles, will be commemorated this April at much more glamorous venues: the Faith Dome, the Angelus Temple, the Los Angeles Convention Center and West Angeles Cathedral.
"A handful of people in Los Angeles, led by a one-eyed black man who was the son of former slaves, has turned into a movement of over 600 million people around the world who claimed to be filled with the Holy Spirit," said Billy Wilson, executive officer for the Azusa Street Centennial.

One of the most successful religious movements of our time.
