Descripción
Sumario:this study explores data from a congregational survey of the church of God (cleveland, tn) Pentecostal denomination (N = 1,522). it considers the relationship between family socialization and the concept of Godly love, understood as a perceived relationship of love with God and neighbor, in relation to Pentecostal spirituality. this research discovered that the home is an important context for conversion and that married women in particular are socializing agents of Godly love and Pentecostal spirituality. they are supported in this key role by other family members. they are also key agents within congregational expressions of Pentecostal spirituality. these are important findings and lend further support to the understanding that women are empowered by Pentecostal spirituality even if they are in tension with aspects of Pentecostal patriarchy. these findings have implications for the role of marriage, gender relations, and religious experience in american society
