This booklet presents a germinal essay on the formation of the
Conservative Holiness Movement, providing a broad overview from its
early twentieth-century roots in the radical Holiness tradition
fostered by such visionaries as Martin Wells Knapp and Seth Cook
Rees to the development of self-identified "conservative"
dissenting fellowships that coalesced under the leadership of
ministers like H. E. Schmul and Glenn Griffith during mid-twentieth
century. It brings into focus the underlying rationale of the
conservative position which perceived the quest for upward social
mobility (embourgeoisement) as a three-prong threat-a nefarious
spiritual trident endangering the Holiness people's beloved "ship
of Zion." It further documents how the radical response to this
challenge led to a shift in the primary rationale for Holiness
ethics throughout much of the Wesleyan-Holiness tradition. An
Afterword shares additional reflections refined in light of
continued research into the movement's history.
