Re: Who was Harry Morse ?
I did some brief looking. Phineas Bresee was involved in starting Peniel Missions but 1 or 2 or 3 years or so later he left due to differences of opinion on what direction they should be going, and started the Church of the Nazarene as a result.
Originally, Peniel was "undenominational", they did evangelistic rescue work of the unchurched, had volunteers from many churches (like a typical soup kitchen/Salvation Army setup), and encouraged converts to "find a church". But eventually felt the need to have bible study, prayer, etc with the people they were ministering to and they wound up becoming a church.
