The Revival Fellowship was formed as a result of a 1995 schism with the [[Revival Centres International]]. At a Christmas church camp in 1994 Lloyd Longfield (head-pastor of the Revival Centres International) instituted a policy that sexually immoral members would be permanently [[Excommunication|excommunicated]]; that they could never be restored to fellowship. The Adelaide assembly, led by pastor John Kuhlmann, opposed the move, withdrawing from the Revival Centres with approximately half of the assemblies (30), a third of pastors (35) and potentially over half of the membership (3,300 including 120 from Melbourne - the bulk of membership outside of Victoria and Tasmania). Approximately half of the missions work in [[Papua New Guinea]] became part of the Revival Fellowship, as well as various other international assemblies (including assemblies in [[Europe]], [[Africa]], [[New Zealand]], the [[Pacific]] and the [[Americas]]).[{{Cite book] |
