- Title
The Protracted Meeting Myth.
- Authors
JOHNSON, CURTIS D.
- Abstract
An essay is presented concerning the concept of the protracted meeting myth advanced by U.S. evangelist Charles Finney during the period known as the Second Great Awakening and the history of Baptist revival meetings in western New York State from 1789 to 1850. It discusses Finney's efforts to reform Rochester, New York, and utilizes records of several western New York churches to compare and contrast the impact of protracted meetings to awakenings, also known as conversions.
