Fulton Street Revival anniversary conference - Update 2
Report from Peter Armstrong. Peter is worship director at Bellevue CRC and a student at Fuller Seminary NW in Seattle. He is currently studying at Calvin Theological Seminary and interning at the Calvin Institute of Christian Worship. Read his previous report.
“One man’s obedience to prayer...began a revival...that transformed a nation.” This quote about Jeremiah Lamphier brings us back to the 150th Anniversary of the Fulton Street Revival conference, held September 21-23 at the Hilton in Midtown Manhattan. It is certainly the only worship conference I have attended in which the President of Iran would be in the same room 24 hours later (he spoke at the Hilton on Monday). And yet this very fact illustrates the importance of New York City as a global city that could be a huge influence for the Gospel around the world. The importance of NYC was also illustrated by Saturday’s morning speaker, Jack Hayford, who told us that he flew out from Los Angeles to deliver a thirty minute talk; talking to Christian leaders about revival in New York City was worth that sacrifice in his mind.
