Theological Evaluation of the early development of the Assemblies
of God denomination in South East Wales British Pentecostalism is
linked to the Azusa Street Revival in Los Angeles through T. B.
Barratt and Anglican vicar Alexander A. Boddy at Sunderland.
Boddy's experience and subsequent ministry set the foundation in
Britain for the rise of the Apostolic Church, the Elim Church and
the Assemblies of God. Each of these Pentecostal denominations had
their roots in Wales. Following the Welsh Revival of 1904-05 some
(enthused by their experience) sought a deeper relationship with
God; and this search ultimately led them to Pentecostalism. A group
of eager believers emerged around the town of Crosskeys in South
East Wales. By 1912 they had established the Crosskeys Full Gospel
Mission, which soon became a centre for Pentecostal activity. The
central role of the Crosskeys group is seen in the development of
the Assemblies of God in Wales and Monmouthshire denomination which
was in existence by 1921. The Crosskeys based group had been in
correspondence with the American Assemblies of God (AG) regarding
joining that denomination as an official presbytery. It was this
action that caused a group of like-minded English Pentecostals to
pursue the establishment of the Assemblies of God in Great Britain
and Ireland in 1924. This British denomination incorporated some
thirty-eight Welsh Pentecostal assemblies. This book considers some
of the important theological, political and social influences which
shaped the brand of Pentecostalism that emerged in South East Wales
in the early twentieth century--a movement which was to have a wide
ranging influence on subsequent Pentecostal history far beyond the
borders of Wales.
