While such foci are justified, much of the zeal that animates change reflects an inadequate grasp of the Church’s institutional character.

Pentecostal theology provides a compelling context for this endeavor. It is argued that this theology must be sensitive to the authoritative role of Spirit-Word, the de- and re-constructive work of the Spirit, and the dynamics of social context.
