In 1924, Philadelphia pastor Ida Robinson defected to form the Mount Sinai Holy Church of America, thus securing full rights of ordination for women. Then, five years later, a group loyal to evangelist Brumfied Johnson organized as the Mount Calvary Holy Church of America. Another addition to the Holiness Pentecostal ranks arrived, unexpectedly, from dissension within Finished Work efforts among Latinos in the West and Southwest.
