Yes. And it's always struck me as ironic that today, Methodists are only
slightly more likely to hold revival meetings than, say, Episcopalians, and
that even though early revival meetings tended to be hotbeds of progressive
thought, modern ones tend to be both theologically and politically reactionary.

And to have praise bands (and/or Hammonds), rather than organs.
