SOLO_Gold Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 ORU project takes a look at growth of charismatics By BILL SHERMAN World Religion Writer Published: 3/15/2009 2:21 AM Last Modified: 3/15/2009 3:29 AM Tulsa, long a global hub of Pentecostalism, is hosting an international study to look at what has become the fastest-growing arm of the Christian faith. Some 640 million adherents worldwide, across many denominations, practice Pentecostal/charismatic Christianity, with its emphasis on miracles, healing and speaking in tongues. The Commission on Holy Spirit Empowerment in the 21st Century is sponsored by Oral Roberts University. http://www.tulsaworld.com/news/article.aspx?subjectid=11&articleid=20090315_18_A1_TheRev338429&allcom=1#commentform Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOLO_Gold Posted March 15, 2009 Author Share Posted March 15, 2009 This is on the front page of the Tulsa World today. Here's a link to the pdf http://www.tulsaworld.com/twpdfs/2009/FINAL/W_031509_A_1.PDF It's not every day that ORU and Elton John get featured on the same cover. On a more serious note - I'm very impressed by the university for spear heading this initiative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
