CRC Churches International, formerly known as the Christian Revival Crusade, is a Pentecostal Protestant Christian denomination founded in New Zealand and Australia by Leo Harris in Adelaide, South Australia, with assistance from Thomas Foster in Melbourne, Victoria.[1][2][3]
History
Converted under the itinerant ministry of South African, Frederick Van Eyck, Harris' father became an Apostolic Church pastor before they both assumed ministry within the Assemblies of God.[4] Harris was influenced by the British-Israel views of Thomas Foster, whose identification of Anglo-Saxon nations with the ten lost tribes of Israel prompted him to adopt a historicist eschatology.[5] With the subsequent cancellation of his ministry credential and the increasing post-war popularity of his pro-British views throughout parts of Australia and New Zealand, the Commonwealth Revival Crusade was launched organisationally in Adelaide and Melbourne in 1945.[6]
The movement later became known as the National Revival Crusade after rejection from the Australian Government for the use of the word "Commonwealth". The movement then later became known as the Christian Revival Crusade before finally taking its current name.[7][8][9]
With a strong focus on classical Pentecostal distinctives such as baptism in the Holy Spirit, faith healing and deliverance ministry,[10] the CRC grew and sought to establish a new constitution in 1958, which triggered the departure of churches, forming the Revival Centres International (which viewed spirit baptism with the evidence of speaking in tongues as essential for salvation).[11] Nevertheless, growth continued, including a significant influence in Tasmania.[12]
Later departures of churches, some of which saw new movements emerge, were all unrelated to the declining popularity of the British-Israel teaching, which has not appeared in official publications since the early 1970s.Шаблон:Citation needed
International growth (principally in Papua New Guinea and in South-East Asia under Barry Silverback, recognised with an Order of Australia medal for his services[13]) saw some 600 churches globally and 120 in Australia under the leadership of Bill Vasilakis by around 2009, with the stated goal of having a presence in every nation by the CRC's centenary in 2045.[14]
In 2012 the CRC reported that it had a presence in some 50 nations.[15]
