The Azusa Street Revival: Wrapped in Swaddoling Clothes, Lying in a Manger, CENTENNIAL EDITION

William J. Seymour in the midst of Jim Crow in 1906 became the Father of the interracial worship experience. Bishop Charles Harrison Mason, Seymour's Pentecostal protege, institutionalized this experience in the early days of the Modern Day Pentecostal Movements. Theological views of William J. Seymour & Bishop C.H. Mason were, one of the most powerful impacts and phenomena of an African American churchmen upon white Christianity. Their theological influence and movement had a global impact upon Christendom fifty years before the Civil Rights Movement in America. The Federal Bureau of investigation (FBI) in 1918 develops a file on Bishop C.H. Mason because of his pacifism and interracialism stemming from Seymour's Azusa Street theological Pentecostal doctrine. In 1918 Mason's early Pentecostal conscientious objector stance against WWI causes thousands of white and black Pentecostals to refuse the draft based upon William J. Seymours Christian principle of divine love.
