Since 2013, the IPHC General Conferences fall exactly 100 years after the early 20th-century General Conferences. Originally, these gatherings were known as General Conventions; however, that language was jettisoned in 1917 in favor of Methodist terminology.<\/p>\n

The Second General Convention of the Pentecostal Holiness Church (PHC) was held in Toccoa, Georgia. Although G.F. Taylor is most often remembered for his contribution to formal education, the publishing of books, periodicals, and Sunday school literature, in addition to helping to launch missions with institutional support, 1913 saw him elected general superintendent. When elected, Taylor was a young 31-year-old who dealt with a physical disability. Taylor\u2019s later writings drew attention to the strained debate, voting, and resolutions that ensued in 1913 about divorce and remarriage which, he wrote, had almost derailed the 1911 merger of the PHC with the Fire-Baptized Holiness Church (FBHC).<\/p>\n

Joseph H. King came to the 1913 General Convention as assistant superintendent over \u201cforeign work\u201d along with being superintendent of the \u201cColored Convention.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, in 1913 the \u201cColored Convention\u201d was abandoned. Neither were there records of female delegates at the convention. King was elected as a general<\/p>\n

trustee after which he asked to be \u201cexcused,\u201d but that request was denied by motion. In 1914, King would publish his most significant monograph, From Passover to Pentecost<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The Third Session of the General Convention of the PHC convened January 23-28, 1917, in Abbeville, South Carolina, where J.H. King was elected general superintendent. King had led the FBHC as general overseer from 1900 to the 1911 merger of the FBHC with the PHC. However, his around-the-world tour from 1910-1912 took priority. The fruits of that tour not only produced expansion of the PHC outside the United States, it garnered significant endorsements of King, particularly in Asia and Europe.<\/p>\n

The first PHC general superintendent after the 1911 merger was FBHC stalwart, Sam E. Page. Page was elected as assistant general superintendent in 1913 and again in 1917. The foundational FBHC figure A.E. Robinson was elected general secretary and treasurer in 1913. In 1917, Robinson returned as general secretary while G.F. Taylor was elected general treasurer.<\/p>\n

In terms of polity, one could be licensed to preach only if he was able to recite the book of the Bible in consecutive order, and if they had read the Bible through at least once… or at least promised to do so. Ordained ministers were required to read the Bible through twice. In addition, ministers were required to read at least 1,000 pages of books approved by the PHC. A list of specific books and authors, led by John Wesley, was published in the minutes of the 1913 General Convention.<\/p>\n

Originalmente, estas reuniones eran conocidas como Convenciones Generales; Sin embargo, ese lenguaje fue desechado en 1917 a favor de la terminolog\u00eda metodista. La Segunda Convenci\u00f3n General de la Iglesia de Santidad Pentecostal (APS) se celebr\u00f3 en Toccoa, Georgia. A pesar de que GF Taylor es recordado por su contribuci\u00f3n a la educaci\u00f3n formal, la publicaci\u00f3n de libros, peri\u00f3dicos y literatura de la escuela dominical, adem\u00e1s de ayudar a lanzar misiones con apoyo institucional, en 1913 lo eligi\u00f3 como superintendente general. Cuando fue elegido, Taylor era un joven de 31 a\u00f1os de edad que se ocup\u00f3 de una discapacidad f\u00edsica. Los escritos posteriores de Taylor llamaron la atenci\u00f3n sobre el tenso debate, la votaci\u00f3n y las resoluciones que se siguieron en 1913 sobre el divorcio y el nuevo matrimonio, que casi hab\u00eda descarrilado la fusi\u00f3n de 1911 de la PHC con la Iglesia de la Santidad Bautizada por el Fuego. Joseph H. King lleg\u00f3 a la Convenci\u00f3n General de 1913 como superintendente asistente sobre el "trabajo extranjero", junto con ser superintendente de la "Convenci\u00f3n de Colores". Sin embargo, en 1913 la "Convenci\u00f3n de Colores" fue abandonada. Tampoco hab\u00eda registros de mujeres delegadas en la convenci\u00f3n. King fue elegido como administrador general despu\u00e9s de lo cual pidi\u00f3 ser "excusado", pero esa petici\u00f3n fue denegada por una moci\u00f3n. En 1914, King publicar\u00eda su monograf\u00eda m\u00e1s significativa, De Pascua a Pentecost\u00e9s<\/em> . La Tercera Sesi\u00f3n de la Convenci\u00f3n General de los PHC se reuni\u00f3 del 23 al 28 de enero de 1917 en Abbeville, Carolina del Sur, donde fue elegido Superintendente General de JH King. King hab\u00eda dirigido la FBHC como superintendente general desde 1900 hasta la fusi\u00f3n de 1911 del FBHC con el PHC. Sin embargo, su gira alrededor del mundo de 1910-1912 fue la prioridad. Los frutos de esa gira no s\u00f3lo produjeron la expansi\u00f3n de la PHC fuera de los Estados Unidos, sino que obtuvo importantes respaldos de King, particularmente en Asia y Europa. El primer superintendente general de la APS despu\u00e9s de la fusi\u00f3n de 1911 fue FBHC stalwart, Sam E. Page. Page fue elegido secretario general adjunto y tesorero en 1913. En 1917, Robinson volvi\u00f3 como secretario general mientras que GF Taylor fue elegido tesorero general. En t\u00e9rminos de pol\u00edtica, uno podr\u00eda ser licenciado para predicar s\u00f3lo si pudiera recitar el libro de la Biblia en orden consecutivo, y si hubieran le\u00eddo la Biblia por lo menos una vez ... o al menos prometi\u00f3 hacerlo. A los ministros ordenados se les obligaba a leer la Biblia dos veces. Adem\u00e1s, los ministros ten\u00edan que leer al menos 1.000 p\u00e1ginas de libros aprobados por la APS. Una lista de libros y autores espec\u00edficos, dirigida por John Wesley, fue publicada en las actas de la Convenci\u00f3n General de 1913.
