Can I Hear You Say "Hallelujah"?

More than 20,000 Celebrate Pentecostalism's 100th Birthday

RNS's Sarah Price Brown reports on the 100th birthday of the Pentecostal movement, in this week's full-text article, linked above.

Quote:

Pentecostals believe that the Holy Spirit resides within them and manifests itself, in some cases, by allowing worshippers to speak in tongues. "Tongues" is a spiritual language that to the uninitiated may sound like gibberish but to believers is a sign that a Christian has been baptized in the Holy Spirit.
