Life

Donald Gee was born in London, where in the Finsbury Park Congregational Church, he converted to Christianity in 1905 and finally in 1913, decided to join the Pentecostal movement. Gee assumed the pastorate in a suburb of Edinburgh, the recorded impressive growth under his leadership. In 1928, Gee accepted an invitation to Australia and New Zealand to work as a Bible school teacher. His job as a Bible school teacher gave him worldwide lecturing. Gee was keen to avoid doctrinal disputes and strive to adopt a conciliatory attitude. Gee saw the emerging Pentecostal Church as a worldwide phenomenon that should not be confined to one country in his opinion. For this reason, he organized several international conferences, which should lead to a transnational understanding of the Pentecostal churches. Gee has published numerous books and in 1947 the editor of Pentecost.

Gee applies not only to David Johannes du Plessis as a pioneer of progressive approximation of the Pentecostal Church of the Ecumenical Movement, which had been up in the 1960s as instrumentalized " world church " initially rejected.
