TheAmerican colonies were the fruit of an English revival rejected by the English peo- ple and govern- ment. The Puri- tan vision was of a reformed and re-vitalized Eng- land brought about through enthusiastic em- brace of the Living God. When the Puritans found themselves despised they came to America and set up a culture of that em- brace, believing that when those they left behind saw what God did with them they would hunger for the same. The Pilgrims were more radicalized, but their sense of a city on a hill — observed and hungered for — was just as strong. Yet revivals do not form na- tions; awakenings do. The first American Great Awakening rocked the Atlantic seaboard in the 1730s and '40s. It be- gan in the pastures of the Connecticut River Valley as the Holy Spirit ignited preaching with signs and wonders. The Spirit drew hun- dreds of thousands and the emphasis was on re- ceiving and growing a re- lationship with God in the Person of His Son. These relationships were as in- timate as they were dy- namic — and uncomfort- able for observers. People coming under the Spirit would frequently cry out, weep, laugh, and convulse on the ground. Fruit was that jails tended to empty as people became less in- clined to commit crime, families tended to come together as parents be- came parents and spouses re-committed to loving and faithful marriage. Col- onists saw themselves as Americans rather than British expatriates. This social and spiritual cohe- sion enabled Americans to fight a revolutionary war and write a Declaration of Independence and Consti- tution. Just as the first Great Awakening formed an American iden- tity, the second formed an Amer- ican character in which concerted efforts from barn raisings to span- ning a continent to walkers on the moon were sim- ply viewed as the Amer- ican way. Public schools and social welfare move- ments were its creations. It birthed a commitment to live in freedom for all — the commitment that abol- ished slavery and strug- gled for another century to make manifest what they had mandated. Revivals often lead to Awakening — when they are not managed to death by the very people who triggered them — but re- vivals are confined to the Church while awakenings hit the streets and trans- form cities; they often be- gin outside institutional churches. The charismatic re- vival of the sixties fea- tured thousands being healed, renewed in their faith and — in many cases — coming into a relation- ship with Jesus for the first time. But the cities at its heart — Los Ange- les and Seattle — were no different after the revival than before it. The To- ronto Blessing that rocked churches all over the world is a formative influence on my own character and ap- proach to God — but To- ronto remains the city it was pre-1994. Many want to hail the Azusa Street Revival of 1906 as an awakening, but that re- vival was destroyed by the failure of leaders to confront the racism that strangled it. Los Ange- les remained as it had al- ways been, only bigger and richer as oil and entertain- ment industries came of age there. It can be argued — and I would — that Azusa Street was resurrected in the charismatic renewal triggered by Dennis Ben- nett. This revival led into the Jesus People, which is the third Great Awakening in America. The Jesus People be- gan outside the Church — on the beaches of Califor- nia and Oregon. It began with drugged out hippies who had radical encounter with Jesus and took Him along wherever they went. They birthed modern wor- ship music, a renewed em- phasis on families, and a normalized view of signs and wonders on city streets. The modern re- covery movement and the Messianic movement among Jews are from the Jesus People. The idea of vision preceding product in the business world is fruit of this movement, as is the movement for rec- onciliation with people groups and across all di- viding lines. Jesus People picked up where Azusa left off and got it right re ra- cial integration. I do not mean to im- ply the Awakenings are cool and revivals are not. Both have a place of honor in the Kingdom of God. But the one tends to be a fuller manifestation of the larger Kingdom while the other is more instru- mental to it. Awakenings tend to be rejected by the larger Church until the fruit comes into the bin while revivals tend to dra- matically stir the Church — or at least the streams in which they come. The kiss of death for either is the urge to manage and tame them by leadership. But the kiss of life from the Lord comes — always — in response to a season of repentance from that cross-section of the Body hearing the promise of the Lord without seeing its manifestation.

GODTALK Revivals and awakenings in America Jim Wilson The Jefferson Pipe Band bagpipers and drummers and the choir of the Presby- terian Church of Red Bluff will present the Kirkin o' the Tartan ceremony at 11 a.m. Sunday, Oct. 26. This historical ceremony is based on the tradition of celebrating Scottish heri- tage, asking God's blessing and protection for those represented by the tarns. Kirkin is the Scottish word for Church and a Tartan is the traditional pattern of unevenly spaced stripes crossing at right angles woven into a woolen fabric that distinguishes the vari- ous Scottish Clans. After the defeat of the Scots by the English in 1746, wearing of the Tartan and keeping any Highland ways or culture was forbidden in order to subdue the rebel- lious Scottish spirit. The Scots were fervent Chris- tians; they clung to their ancient traditions by put- ting them underground. It was important to them that at least one Sunday a year they went to church wear- ing a concealed piece of the tartan. At a certain moment set aside in the service, the tartan was touched while the minister pronounced a blessing on all Tartans and the Scots pledged their loy- alty and respect for their old traditions. During this time, the women of highland clans whose men were far from home would bring a small piece of their tartan to the Kirk (church) to be blessed secretly and to pray for the heaven's protection for the clan and for its members. This action later became a celebration for those of the faith with Scottish roots. This ceremony actually came into fruition in the United States when Chap- lain Peter Marshall, who had immigrated to the U.S. from Coatdyke, Scotland, held the first Kirkin' at the New York Avenue Presbyte- rian Church in Washington, DC. Marshall was Chaplain to the U.S. Senate. This was an effort to promote soli- darity among America-born and native born Scots who were once again involved a European war, World War II. Since that time, the tra- dition of the Kirkin' o' the Tartan have evolved into a colorful, festive occasion for celebrating Scottish heritage, asking for God's blessing and protection for those represented by Tar- tan, recognizing the histor- ical contribution of native Scots and Scottish heritage Americans celebrating the faith traditions of the Celtic and Scottish people. The community is invited to participate on this occa- sion which will be at 838 Jefferson St. in Red Bluff.
