Trade-marks of the Holiness Pioneers

by Morris Chalfant

Morris Chalfant, son of a district superintendent in the Church of the Nazarene, offers a perspective on the direction holiness churches were taking in the middle of the twentieth century, and the perils he saw approaching. He enumerates five vital spiritual traits of the great holiness revivalists, and contrasts them with countervailing tendencies. These dangers he observed already in evidence in the early 1960s, and he projected ahead to the future state of holiness churches if they were left to proceed unchecked. "Trade-Marks of the Holiness Pioneers" is a virtual prequel to Schmul Publishing Company's 2005 book "Counterpoint: Dialogue with Drury on the Holiness Movement." Did it turn out to be an accurate assessment of how the modern holiness churches reached their current state?
