    • Abstract:
      The article discusses the role of two ministers from Topeka, Kansas in the development of two important movements in 20th-century American Christianity: Charles Fox Parham, a founding figure of Pentecostalism, and Charles Monroe Sheldon, a leader of the Social Gospel movement. The men's backgrounds and ministries are discussed, as are the social and economic conditions in Kansas and the Great Plains, and the history of Topeka from its establishment as the state capital in 1861 through the early 20th century.
