Please join us on January 17 at noon (AZ time) as we welcome journalist Elle Hardy, author of Beyond Belief: How Pentecostal Christianity is Taking Over the World. How has Pentecostalism, a Christian movement from the early 1900s, achieved such rapid global growth? With a current following of 600 million, projections suggest that by 2050, one in ten people worldwide will identify as Pentecostal. This movement, which emphasizes direct experiences of the "Holy Spirit" and promises believers success in all areas of life, raises questions about the factors driving its popularity. Is it genuine spiritual revival, or are other factors, such as social and economic conditions, contributing to its rapid ascent? Learn more about this growing movement and about the "Moonies," the subject of Hardy's new book, this Friday at noon. Click here to register for this virtual event. |
