A must read on the Asbury Revival and revivalism in general.  

"Tillotson's sermons 'Of the ordinary influence of the Holy Ghost on the minds of Christians' are required reading in order to understand the deep-seated and enduring Anglican caution, reserve, and scepticism regarding revivalism. They point to a significant Anglican alternative - in terms of theology, preaching, and piety - to revivalism. This should be an Anglican response to the 'Asbury Revival': offering a meaningful alternative, deeply rooted in scripture, shaped by the church's prayer and sacraments, sober and thoughtful in its teaching, quietly and modestly ministering to 'bring forth in us the fruit of good living'".
