Esaias has a valid point.

The Azuza crowd permitted diversity of thought. They also permitted freedom of devotion that may or may not have been a good idea.

It is tempting for me to quote Harry Morse and say that they were Sabbath keepers (he was). It is easy to quote the guy who believed drinking coffee was a sin.

The truth is that there was diversity of thought. Morse promoted education. W F Manley thought higher education for ministers was terrible.

There were more women ministers than is commonly seen today. even in the Azuza alumni.

Understanding what they had in common is not easy for us to document.
