An Ecumenist of the Spirit: The Legacy of David Charles Mainse

Abstract

The paper attempts to explore the career and ministry of David Mainse  as a link between classical Canadian Pentecostalism and the Charismatic Renewal.  Evidence is provided of David's upbringing, character and strategic evangelism initiatives that permitted him to remain loyal to his own denominational roots while endearing himself to a wide range mainstream and Charismatic expressions.
