Pentecostal & Charismatic

The Pentecostal and Charismatic tradition originates in the early twentieth century — conventionally dated to the 1906 Azusa Street Revival — and is among the fastest-growing branches of global Christianity. Documented episodes in this archive currently centre on the late-twentieth-century American televangelism financial-fraud cases, of which the PTL Ministries / Jim Bakker prosecution is the most prominent.

The Word of Faith Fellowship investigation (Spindale, North Carolina; subject of a Reuters investigative series 2017–2019) and the Jimmy Swaggart scandals of 1988 are within scope and pending writeup.
