SUBJECT
THE METHODIST REVIVAL FELLOWSHIP 1952-1987
The Methodist Revival Fellowship was founded just after the Second World War with a commitment to pray for revival, the Methodist Revival Fellowship also offered support for traditional evangelicals in Methodism in anxious and exciting times. The story of the Methodist Revival Fellowship spans the era of Billy Graham, the impact of charismatic renewal and the debates over ecumenicalism and pluralism.  It is set against the backdrop of evangelical resurgence in British Christianity and increasing secularism in British society.
