I would love a bonus episode wherein JD continues to attempt to describe to Ed the infusion of Early 20th century American Pentecostalism into the Catholic Charismatic movement
J.D.'s talk about the history of revivals could add earlier examples than Azusa Street. In the colonial American "Great Awakening", the Puritan Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758) preached kerygmatic missions that inspired conversions, some of which were accompanied by weeping, swooning, ecstasies, and "holy laughter". A classic book about revivals is Msgr. Knox's "Enthusiasm", and he was basically against it. On the other hand, the revival in Kentucky this year seems to have inspired a sense of adoration in the participants, so it's not all bad. To go further back for a Catholic example, the effect of Savonarola's missions might also be characterized as revival.
Actually, if you read colonial Americans, for instance Franklin, you will find that it was brought to America by Englishmen influenced by the Wesleys, and the Friends (Quakers) were holding these kinds of meetings before one of them was given Pennsylvania by the English crown as a place of religious freedom for their English sect.
One does not chop up the ice in the horse trough. One pours boiling water on it and melts it. Ed's method of farming is pretty common around here. He should check out the South Bend area, only 90 miles from Chicago and there's a train to get there and back, and Catholic culture due to our universities. I'm serious about this.
Yay! Pod comments are back!!!

The Amish are an hour or so in the opposite direction.
