The Heartfelt Spirit is a class at the University of Texas focused on the historical background of the Pentecostal movement in the United States and beyond.

Garr Auditorium
Garr Auditorium, also previously identified by the names Cannon Cathedral, Wesley Heights Church, or Garr Church, is a Pentecostal church in Charlotte, North Carolina founded by Alfred Goodrich Garr and his wife Lillian. They founded the church in 1930 and officially moved into the building they constructed in 1933, where the church stood for 80 years until 2010. The church was relocated after Hurricane Hugo in 1989, and currently operates at 7700 Wallace Rd in Charlotte, North Carolina.

History
This section will include the history behind the church and how it came to be formed. It will also include the events leading up to the formation, including how the Garr's came to the US and ended up in North Carolina.

Founder
This will present information on Alfred Garr and his wife, including how he got his start in Pentecostalism and his India travels before coming back to the US.

Alfred Goodrich Garr was born in 1874 in Danville, Kentucky to Oliver and Josephine Garr. He was the fifth and youngest child by 12 years, and particularly doted on by his older siblings and mother. From a young age, Alfred expressed a "spiritual hunger" and at age 7 he repented of his sin and began searching for God in his life, followed by baptism in the local Baptist church.

Alfred Goodrich Garr met Lillian Anderson when they were in school at Ashbury College. They married and continued at Ashbury together, and after they moved to California so Alfred could pastor an independent church, the Burning Bush Mission. It was at this time that the Azusa Street Revival broke out in Los Angeles, California. The Holy Spirit was outpoured upon Los Angeles and the community that had gathered there, and Alfred Garr was the first white pastor to receive baptism by the Holy Spirit on June 16, 1906.

A week after receiving the Holy Spirit, Garr was called to go to India and spread the message of Azusa Street, and then two weeks later he departed. Both him and his wife believed they could had been gifted with the gift of speaking in languages that would aid their Indian outreach. Alfred believed he had the gift of speaking Bengali and Lillian thought she had Mandarin and Tibetan. However, when they arrived in India they attempted to preach in these languages but could not. They abandoned the gift of tongues to try and speak to the native peoples, but Alfred still practiced it as evidence of the Spirit baptism.

Beliefs
Here I will discuss the beliefs and structure (or lack of structure), which Garr Auditorium promoted.
