The Great Awakening in Pennsylvania refers to a religious revival movement that occurred in the 18th century, emphasizing personal faith, emotional experiences, and a direct relationship with God. It was part of a larger wave of revivals sweeping across the American colonies, characterized by itinerant preachers and a break from established religious traditions. In Pennsylvania, figures like George Whitefield played significant roles in spreading evangelical fervor, leading to the growth of various denominations and increased religious diversity. This movement also contributed to the development of a more democratic spirit in religious practice and community life.
