John T. C. B. Collins

John Theodore Cameron Bucke Collins (25 August 1925 – 8 December 2022) was a British Anglican priest who was instrumental in the charismatic revival movement in the Church of England.

Previously from a high church background, Collins was converted to Evangelical Christianity at an Iwerne camp.

According to Collins, "the 'visitation of the Holy Spirit' lasted three weeks and transformed his rundown church of St Mark’s, Gillingham and young curates into catalysts for what would become known as the "Charismatic Renewal" in Britain.

"[3] In 1980 Collins was appointed vicar of Holy Trinity Brompton,[4] previously a sparsely-attended high church parish that he transformed into a bastion of the Charismatic Movement with an evening congregation of roughly 1,000.

[2][5] Collins married Diana Kimpton (d. 2013), an actress, in 1955, having met at a London rally held by the U.S. evangelist Billy Graham.
