American pentecostal political theology is not marked by a fivefold gospel, as key theologians contend, but is best understood as the justification of the color line. That term, popularized by W.E.B. Du Bois, is a theological-political term, and was invoked at Azusa Street. The color line is a spatial and racial order that is both politically and theologically inaugurated and upheld. Political theology, as such, is anti-Black. But at Azusa Street, a Black-led and interracial revival, the color line is washed away. Persons and practices excluded by the color line, and racialized as Black, reject the terms of order and generate the order’s undoing. If this undoing becomes the central interpretive grid for “pentecostal,” then the terms “pentecostal” and “Black” are read synonymously and over against political theology as terms of order. By turning to this generating mode of the Blackness of pentecostal origins, the impossibility of doing a pentecostal political theology emerges.
美国五旬节派的政治神学并不像关键神学家所主张的那样,以五重福音为标志,而是最好被理解为种族界限的正当理由。这个词由杜波依斯(W.E.B. Du Bois)推广,是一个神学政治术语,在阿祖萨街(Azusa Street)被引用。肤色界线是一种空间和种族秩序,在政治上和神学上都得到了开创和维护。政治神学本身就是反黑人的。但在黑人领导的跨种族复兴运动阿祖萨街,种族界限被洗去了。被肤色线排除在外的人和行为,以及被种族化为黑人的人,拒绝秩序的条款,并导致秩序的毁灭。如果这种毁灭成为“五旬节派”的中心解释网格,那么“五旬节派”和“黑人”这两个词就被同义解读,并作为秩序的术语与政治神学对立。通过转向这种五旬节派起源的黑暗面的产生模式,做一个五旬节派政治神学的不可能性出现了。

This article explores how some of the historiography of the Azusa Street Mission reflects the rhetoric of American exceptionalism. It first explores American exceptionalism as well as the development of the Azusa Street Mission in the context of global Pentecostalism. Second, some accounts of the Azusa revival are examined to observe the language of exceptionalism in the retelling of this event. Yet, it is not the purpose of this article to diminish the significance of the Azusa Street Mission in the development of global Pentecostalism. Instead, third, the great contribution of Azusa is discussed, namely, the emphasis on the democratization of the Spirit and its corollary of a Spirit-led, nondiscriminatory leadership. While not distinct in this vision in the context of global Pentecostalism, the Azusa Street Mission does function as an important symbol for the current pentecostal community that aspires to function as a post-racist church. Some implications of this for an emerging pentecostal political theology are briefly presented.

Interculturality has been promulgated by many scholars from the 1970s onward due to world transformations such as postcolonialism, migration, and globalization. In the context of Southeast Asia, one of the ways this becomes obvious is through South-to-South mission, in which a sense of mutuality becomes the basis for intercultural partnerships. Such is the case for the Filipino Assemblies of God mission in Cambodia. Their development from cross-cultural to intercultural in their missionary endeavors can be traced through their history. The three areas of mutuality between Filipinos and Cambodians that emerged from a triangulation of their oral history, related literature, and secondary interview data are a mutual experience of socioeconomic struggle, shared acceptance of a spirit world, and the closeness of their ethnicity. Because of these areas of mutuality, Filipino AG missionaries have been able to share Christianity in a contextualized and culturally sensitive manner. These areas of mutuality also made them more relatable to Cambodians, enhancing long-term partnerships in the field.

This article utilizes the Latino Religions and Politics National Survey (n = 1,292) to provide a preliminary investigation into Latino religious and political identity and voting results in the 2020 Election. It provides important new data on the Latino vote lean by religion (Catholic, Protestant, Evangelical, Pentecostal, Catholic Charismatic), with special attention to the critical role that religion in general and Evangelicals and Pentecostals/Charismatics in particular may have played in helping to increase Latino Republican support for President Trump across the nation from 28 percent in 2016 to 32 percent in 2020 and increase his levels of support in Florida and Texas. While religion is just one of many important variables and factors that may help explain the recent if subtle Latino shift towards the Republican Party, it is nonetheless important.
