William Seymour's Doctrine and Discipline
Did you know that William Seymour published a book in 1915?
After the fires of revival began to wane in Los Angeles, Seymour traveled across the country and started several missions in other areas including Virginia and Ohio. He served as an overseer for these works. In 1915, Seymour published, The Doctrines and Discipline of the Azusa Street Apostolic Faith Mission, Los Angeles, California as a guide book for the mission and other churches he led. Original copies of the book are extremely rare.
Even though much of the book is borrowed from other sources, the fact that Seymour edited the work and wrote some segments himself prove some early claims that he was illiterate or could barely read and write as total falsehoods. The book contains much doctrinal material. It also contains helpful information for pastors and church leaders regarding, church functions and ordinances.
