Abstract: This article explores the emergence of Pentecostalism in Tasmania. It identifies the challenges of isolation that hampered some of the earliest church planting efforts, but notes that the eventual growth of the movement resulted from the efforts of local people rather than external missionaries. It identifies the seminal role of women in the rise of Tasmanian Pentecostalism, and the importance of the relationship between Tasmanian Pentecostals and leaders of the movement in mainland Australia, especially Janet Lancaster. It also shows that the movement had its roots in Methodist streams of spirituality.
