Plus issues 14 and 15
The Apostolic Faith, a newsletter chronicling the revival that brought fame to the Azusa Street Mission, was published in Los Angeles from September 1906 to May 1908. Those responsible for publishing the paper relocated elsewhere 1908, and with their departure, the paper left Azusa. After they were gone, attempts were made in Los Angeles to continue a paper, but nothing was established from those efforts.
Issue 14, the paper published in Los Angeles after the original printing staff's departure, and issue 15, the first Portland paper are included here with the original 13 issues.
These texts are lifted from photocopies of the very fragile original papers which are archived at the Apostolic Faith Church Headquarters Office in Portland, Oregon. They are offered with comparative readings of other copy sets. Originally produced as four colums on large newsprint, they are offered here as ADA compliant web pages.
For more history about the publication of the paper, see Choosing Separate Ways, in the "Books about the Azusa Street Mission Revival" section.
