Cecil Marshall and the Charismatic Movement
The John Kinder Theological Library acquired the papers of the Reverend Cecil Marshall, as part of our archive of nationally significant Anglicans. Marshall was one of the early leaders of the Charismatic Movement within the Anglican Church and from 1975 to 1980 was Director of the Christian Advance Ministries. The goal of the founders of the Christian Advance Ministries was to promote, resource and to help co-ordinate the Charismatic Movement in New Zealand.
The movement developed strong national and international inter-denominational networks, with summer schools and ‘Jesus’ rallies being held regularly in the late 1970s.
Cecil Marshall’s collection of papers include a range of correspondence, subject files and administrative records relating to the movement, which date from the 1960s through to the late 1980s.
The Archive has also recently received the records of the Christian Advance Ministries and these two collections will provide unique insight for researchers into the Charismatic Movement in New Zealand Aotearoa.
We are keen to know of other resources relating to the Charismatic Movement within the Anglican Church and welcome your contributions.
