Abstract
"It is well known that Pentecostalism globally has been framed by the ministry of Spirit-empowered women. In Australia, for example, the movement owes its initial impetus to the spirituality and missionary zeal of Sarah Jane Lancaster and her „sisters‟ – evangelists such as Mina Ross Brawner, Minnie Abrams and Winnie Andrews.1 As Barry Chant observes, “over half the Pentecostal congregations functioning by 1930 were established and led by women.”2 In the United States, similarly, the Pentecostal revival traces its symbolic origin to the Spirit baptism of Agnes Ozman and, later, Aimee Semple McPherson became the public face of the emerging movement. In India, likewise, it was Pandita Ramabai‟s social reform work that formed the basis of the 1905 revivals that were later to intersect with the networks connected to the Azusa St revival."
