Genesis is the story of the origins of a Christian Movement in the late 20th century that emerged from an extraordinary outpouring of God’s Holy Spirit known as the Charismatic Renewal. It records the impact of this outpouring on a few students at Queen’s University at a critical period in the 1970s when ‘The Troubles’ were just commencing in Northern Ireland and Queen’s University was at the centre of the social upheaval that erupted. Intercessory prayer for Revival and evangelism among young people led to the development of an interdenominational Fellowship in Bangor, County Down, that was determined to remain within existing denominational structures as an ecclesiola in ecclesia—a church within the church. This experiment was eventually to prove unsuccessful and in 1985 Kings Fellowship formed as a nondenominational church. Genesis tells the story of lives, influences and events that contributed to the development of Kings Fellowship and it closes prior to the end of the experiment to function as ecclesiola in ecclesia. The second of the three volumes in this series, Exodus, will cover the reasons for, and significance of, leaving existing denominations to become a church—as well as the events that led to this. Above all Genesis is a record of the amazing providence of God in people, events and Christian Movements in which his sovereign purposes were furthered through responses to his grace and despite human fallenness and weakness. It provides an insight into the development of a young, emerging Christian Community and the challenges it faced on the way—successfully in some respects and unsuccessfully in others.
