Identity and Change: The Story of the Italian-Canadian Pentecostal Community
Get PDFThe Italian Pentecostal community has had to undergo not one but a number of changes in identity over the course of its existence, from pre-World War I to post-World War II eras. The Italian of the pre-World War I era was different from the Italian of the post-World War I era, who in turn was different from the Italian of the post-World War II era. The changes signal a change of identity, a change in self-understanding, and a change of mission, as a result of the interplay between ethnic character, the wider cultural environment, religion, and immigration. The objective in this paper is to identify the changing identities of Italian-Canadian Pentecostals

Herbert E. Randall: A Canadian Holiness Missionary in Egypt and his Quest for More of the Holy Spirit
Get PDFHerbert Randall leads us through a series of uniquely inter-connecting occurrences on the international stage. From rural eastern Ontario in the newly-minted Dominion of Canada (1867), to the churning spiritual environment within the worldwide holiness/higher-life/Keswick movement (1870s-1920s), the triumphalistic period of the British Empire following the Second Anglo-Sudan War (1896-98), eight years of village ministry during the British occupation of Ottoman Egypt (1899-1906), to his instrumental role in the ‘baptism in the Holy Spirit’ of Aimee Kennedy (1907) [later, Aimee Semple McPherson, flamboyant founder of the International Foursquare Church], and not least, initiating two separate Protestant denominations in Egypt, Randall participates in a perfect storm of historical, social and spiritual events
Canadian Pentecostal Diversity: Incorporating the Many Voices
Get PDFAn important and neglected aspect of Pentecostalism in Canada is its cultural diversity.In this article I offer a multicultural interpretation of Canadian Pentecostalism examining several ways in which the voices of “other” European groups have largely gone unheard, especially the German, Scandinavian, and Italian. I then recontextualize the story by including aboriginal, black, and new immigrants from Asia, Africa, and Latin America. I also suggest some reasons why Canadian Pentecostalism has not incorporated the voices of these groups into its history and provide a research agenda for Canadian Pentecostal studies

Get PDFDiscerning the Spirit in Culture: Toward Pentecostal Interculturality
Get PDFIn view of the ethnocultural diversity among Pentecostals, in this article I argue that Pentecostalism in Canada ought to undergo a structural and theological reconfiguration that reflects more truly its plural-cultural constituency. Along the lines of theology, other cultural groups’ theological horizons and epistemologies ought to become part of the theological education for Pentecostal ministers, in order to become more culturally competent in the diverse context of Canada
