The idea
Church membership doubled between eighteen hundred and eighteen thirty-five, and new national organisations formed to spread the revival's message further.

The American Bible Society in eighteen sixteen and the American Tract Society in eighteen twenty-five.

The American Sunday School Union followed in eighteen twenty-four. These are national bodies with printing presses, which is what turns a revival into a movement.
