The National Museum and the Azusa Street Memorial Committee invite you to a panel discussion on the origins of the Pentecostal church, the nature of the local community when the movement started in 1906, and how the church grew and impacted the neighborhood, the city, and eventually, the entire world.

A distinguished and internationally known panel of writers and theologians will address the theme: Dr. Mel Robeck, professor at Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena, considered by many to be the world's foremost authority on the subject of the Azusa Street Revival and the history of Pentecostalism; Dr. Paul Shew, author of the book entitled Pentecostalism in Japan, 1907-1945; and Dr. Anthea Butler, professor of religion at Loyola Marymount University, and noted African American chronicler of the Pentecostal movement. Teresa Watanabe, a Los Angeles Times reporter who specialized in religious issues, will moderate the panel.
