Third Wave

The Third Wave Chapter recruits exclusively from Pentecostal churches that stress knowing Christ personally and having called upon His name, and as such that means the bulk of their membership are from the Order of Ghosts and Order of Infinity. In an age when organized Tribes are deteriorating at a rapid pace, and society seems to be moving away from the Judeo-Christian tradition, the Third Wave represents a powerful, vibrant and growing bloc of Christians who are bucking the trend.

== Facts: ==
-The Third Wave operates to safeguard growing Pentecostal or Charismatic churches and intervenes on their behalf when other supernatural forces attempt to thwart their work.
-The Third Wave has grown exceptionally in the southern hemisphere.
-The Third Wave has managed to remain strong and grow in areas where other Xtrian Tribes have withered and died.
-The Third Wave avoids political involvement or culture wars. Their's is a kingdom beyond this world, so when they do enter the political fray, it tends to be because of imminent concerns or to be the voice of reason.
== Current Challenges: ==
As of right now, the only form of Christianity that is growing is Pentecostalism. The Third Wave very much represents the hope for Christianity's future. Unfortunately they face growing opposition, and not from external sources but instead from other Xtrians.
The Fundamentalists are especially keen on seeing the Third Wave's excesses curbed, and the Ecclesiastical Orders in general view the Chapter as so much rabble. The older churches are increasingly viewing the Pentecostals as dangerous heretics and are spending precious resources on stopping them (this, despite the fact their own churches are slowly sinking).
Right now the Third Wave has to make a decision: either they tow the line with their older brothers and sisters and practice a more set and solid form of their faith, or they go it alone and lose all connection with their Adept allies.
