Russian Pentecostals

[Margaret McKibben]

For a fairly recent account of the Russian Pentecostal community about 40
miles south of Portland, OR, see:

        Old Russian Ways:  cultural variation among three Russian groups
                           in Oregon

by Richard A. Morris,  AMS press 1991

Available at Multnomah Public Library, by the way.

This is Morris's dissertation (Cultural Anthropology, U. of Oregon)
reworked for the general reader.  It includes a good history of
Pentecostals in Russia and Ukraine and a good portrayal of their current
life in the US.

Not every detail will be applicable to your situation, since the RPs in
Portland are more recent, more urban and more numerous.  But it's a start.
