Mülheim Association of Free Churches and Evangelical Communities (in German: ''Mülheimer Verband Freikirchlich-Evangelischer Gemeinden'', formerly ''Christlicher Gemeinschaftsverband Mülheim adRuhr/CGV'') is a German Pentecostal fellowship. ==History== The German Pentecostal movement arose out of revival meetings held yearly by the Gnadauer Verband in the Ruhr area around the turn of the twentieth century. Many of the evangelical leadears visited and experienced Pentecostal charismata at the Thomas Barratt mission in Oslo from 1906-1907. During the revival held in Mülheim in 1907 reportedly 3,000 conversions occurred over a six-week period, under the guidance of Emil Humburg. Sixty evangelical leaders reacted to the Pentecostal manifestation and issued a condemnation, the Berlin Declaration in 1909. The Pentecostal leaders Emil Humburg, Jonathan Paul, Eugen Edel, Octavious Voget continued to hold Pentecostal conferences, with an attendance of 1,700 in 1909 and 2,500 in 1910, drawing people from Germany, Switzerland, Netherlands, Hungry, Scandinavia, and Russia. Soon disagreement made many leave the Mühlheimer Association to organize the ''Freie Pfingstgemeinden'' in 1911. In 1914 the Pentecostals led by Jonathan Paul were incorporated as the ''Christlicher Gemeinschaftsverband GmbH Mülheim/Ruhr'', as a fellowship of members within the Lutheran, Reformed state churches as well as within the Free Churches. During the Nazi regime and the Second World War the Mühlheimer Association suffered pressure and lost many members. The movement experienced membership decline between 1960-1990. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mülheim Association of Free Churches and Evangelical Communities」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
