	Religious Movements Homepage: The Oneida Community
		Since the Religious Movements Homepage seeks to promote religious tolerance and appreciation of the positive benefits of pluralism and religious diversity in human cultures, we encourage the use of alternative concepts that do not carry implicit negative stereotypes.
		The foundations of Perfectionism are layed upon particular aspects of the aforementioned religious movements.
		The Holiness Movement, first of all, was "launched in search of an experience of sanctification that many seekers hoped would free them from anxiety, guilt, and perhaps even from sin" (Bainbridge, p.87).

	The American Pentecostal Origin
		It was from Wesley that the Holiness Movement developed the theology of a "second blessing." It was Wesley's colleague, John Fletcher, however, who first called this second blessing a "baptism in the Holy Spirit," an experience which brought spiritual power to the recipient as well as inner cleansing.
		While his movement failed in England, Irving did succeed in pointing to glossolalia as the "standing sign" of the baptism in the Holy Spirit, a major facet in the future theology of the Pentecostals.
		After 1875, the American holiness movement, influenced by the Keswick emphasis began to stress the Pentecostal aspects of the second blessings, some calling the experience "Pentecostal sanctification." An entire hymnody was produced which focused on the upper room and a revolutionary "old-time Pentecostal power" for those who tarried at the altars.

		Most operated with a strict perfectionist code of personal morality and demanded from their adherents plain dress and abstinence from "worldly" pleasures and amusements.
		It is interesting to that, speaking in tongues had appeared in the early nineteenth century in both England and America, it had never assumed the importance attributed to it by the later Pentecostals.
		The predominance of Reformed Anglicans along with like-minded Free Church evangelicals in the movement prevented the Wesley-Arminian view of sanctification from establishing a foothold.

	American Holiness Movement
		More difficult to characterize is the Keswick movement which originated in Britain in 1875 at a "Convention for the Promotion of Practical Holiness" in the Lake District town of that name.
		In Germany the Holiness concept was institutionalized in the Gemeinschaftsbewegung (Fellowship Movement) which came into existence under the influence of Keswick and Methodist evangelists from Britain and the United States.
		The Holiness movement contributed to a deepening of the spiritual life in a materialistic age, and it was a welcome contrast to the sterile intellectualism and dead orthodoxy that characterized so many churches at the time.

		From the influence of the latter grew the Keswick movement in the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
		Chapter six, "Die Heiligungsbewegung." (The Holiness Movement) is a comprehensive sketch of the perfectionistic development, from its American beginnings in W.H. Boardman, through Pearsall Smith and the Oxford conference in 1875, and the attendant transplantation of the teaching to France and Germany.
		The movement had extravagant and fanatical perfectionist tendencies, and these were accentuated by "a staggering blow from the importation in the spring of 1905 of the Welsh Revival with more than the Welsh excesses." (p.

	"THE APPLICATION OF PERFECTIONISM TO POLITICS": POLITICAL AND ECCLESIASTICAL ABOLITIONISM IN THE BURNEDOVER ...
		This perfectionist justification for political abolitionism can be better understood by using an interpretation provided for us by Donald Scott.84 Scott has demonstrated how the earliest reformers who argued for the immediate abolition of slavery in the 1830's appropriated the theological discourse of revivalistic evangelicalism.
		Many influential "Liberty men" were Unionists, and some of them were pastors of the perfectionist Union churches in their communities.89 Liberty party leaders also belonged to the other ecclesiastical abolitionist groups such as the Franckean Lutherans, the Free Baptists, and the Wesleyan Methodists, each of which promoted Christian holiness.
		The assimilating of ideas among perfectionist abolitionists suggests that a new evangelical consensus was emerging based on a mutual commitment to sanctified living.117 This new consensus was changing the alignments within the revivalistic tradition, and these changes had momentous implications for subsequent generations of evangelicals.

	Revivalism
		A movement within the Christian tradition which emphasizes the appeal of religion to the emotional and affectional nature of individuals as well as to their intellectual and rational nature.
		Modern revival movements have their historical roots in Puritanpietistic reactions to the rationalism of the Enlightenment and the formalized creedal expression of Reformation faith that characterized much of seventeenth century Protestantism.
		The movement used revivalistic methods to call Christians to a second crisis of faith and total commitment subsequent to conversion, commonly called among American Calvinists a "second conversion," a "rest of faith," or the "deeper" or "higher life"; to Methodists it was "entire sanctification," "perfection in love," or "the second blessing."

		Perfectionists, in turn, gradually shifted the focus and forms of their labor in the decade after the OAA's founding.
		The petition campaigns of that same year were the culmination of perfectionist women's antislavery efforts, after which temperance and moral reform absorbed most perfectionists' energies.
		Samuel D. Porter, for instance, was joined in her labors by her 3 single sisters-in-law, all of whom moved between Rochester and Philadelphia, between their parents' home and boardinghouses, and among a variety of female occupations in order to maintain an urban bourgeois lifestyle.

		Movements were under way to make the United States of America a "Christian" nation, and on May 21, 1888, Senator H. Blair, of New Hampshire, had just introduced a national Sunday law into Congress.
		It also was a conscious development in Seventh-day Adventism that was directly influenced by the broader Holiness movement of the late nineteenth century and its fledgling child the early Pentecostal movement (Knight 167-170; Schwarz 447).
		The perfectionistic tone of the movement was evident in Jones' preaching by 1895, as he was preaching "translation faith" and "the power to overcome every tendency to sin" (Knight 170).

	JS Mack Library - Fundamentalism File
		The traditional date of the founding of the modern Holiness movement is 1867, the year of the organizing of the National Camp-meeting Association for the Promotion of Christian Holiness, eventually to become known as the National Holiness Association and even later as the Christian Holiness Partnership.
		As a nondenominational movement (albeit primarily within the northern and southern branches of the Methodist Church), the Holiness movement needed a means to rally its supporters and spread its teachings without interfering with normal church life.
		Another manner in which the Conservative Holiness movement may be said to "preserve" the Holiness movement is in strongly distinguishing the Holiness movement from Pentecostalism and the Charismatic movement (or "tongues movement," as Conservative Holiness Christians often refer to both groups).

	Revivalism to Pentecostalism
		Modern revival movements have their historical roots in Puritan-pietistic reactions to the rationalism of the Enlightenment and the formalized creedal expression of the Reformation faith that characterized much of seventeenth century Protestantism.
		The Pentecostal movement was informed and shaped by revivalism, especially the restorationism threaded throughout its history in a variety of significant ways.
		The Holiness Movement fluidly used Pentecost as a buzz word or paradigm for the baptism of the Spirit for entire cleansing they were seeking (or claimed to experience).

	The Restoration Vision in Pentecostalism
		Until the early 1970s historians of Pentecostalism argued that the movement emerged ex nihilo at the turn of this century as an alternative to fundamentalism in protesting the modernist trend that was capturing mainline Protestantism.
		He notes that glossolalia was first seen as an eschatological sign signifying that a second Pentecost of the Spirit had taken place, bringing the church to a new and final dispensation, the era of the latter rain.
		In 1948 the protest took the form of a revival movement that came to be known as the New Order of the Latter Rain.

		These interests converge because the holiness movement was among the progressive forces on behalf of women in 19th-century religion, giving them public leadership roles and skills, and extending to women in the emerging Wesleyan-holiness churches full laity and clergy rights earlier and more readily than was the case in the older denominations.
		Subsequent histories of the holiness movement by Charles Edwin Jones (Perfectionist Persuasion, 1974) and Melvin Dieter (The Holiness Revival of the Nineteenth Century, 1980) portrayed Phoebe Palmer as the founder of the Wesleyan wing of the ante-bellum holiness movement and included numerous references to women's roles in the genesis and development of the holiness tradition.
		Women in the holiness tradition experienced the general struggle of women to be free from patriarchy, and their stories illuminate facets of that struggle and cast new light on the ways in which the oppression of women is being overcome.

	The Holiness Churches: A Significant Ethical Tradition
		But the movement is perhaps best viewed as a synthesis of Methodism with the revivalism of Charles G. Finney, as it found expression in pre- Civil War America in a reaffirmation of the doctrine of "Christian perfection.
		The Holiness movement differs from fundamentalism and evangelicalism in that it is more oriented to ethics and the spiritual life than to a defense of doctrinal orthodoxy.
		The first of these is to re-express the distinctive doctrine of the Holiness movement with some fidelity to Scripture and history in a manner that speaks to the modern age.

		A Perfectionist, for instance, whose strength is to be diligent and work in an organized manner, may get derailed and angry even if irrelevant rules aren't being followed.
		For example, moving in a "floating" way (with indirect, slow and light movement), produces a relaxed, peaceful state, in which one would behave gently, be less rigid (less likely to "stick to the rules?!") and which may even induce a little spaceyness.
		Their movements began to look angry, and in fact afterwards, they confirmed that moving as instructed not only brought up memories of being angry, but actually made them angry.

		The Oxford Group was a nondenominational evangelical movement, streamlined for the modern world and then at the height of its very considerable success.
		Thus it was an ecumenical movement which used the "common denominators of all religions" rather than the exclusive way of the cross of Christ.
		There is no biblical grace in the recovery movement described in Yancey’s article, because the God of the Bible is absent and Jesus Christ as the only way to the Father is entirely avoided.

		The second movement is cloaked in a romantic aura of mystery, while the finale is an exciting "Hungarian Rondo." The Third Quartet was composed at the same time as the first, but only published in 1875 after extensive revision.
		Especially noteworthy are the second movement of the first sextet, which is a set of variations on an eight-bar harmonic theme, and the third movement of the second sextet, which begins slowly and comes to a rousing climax.
