ABSTRACT
Bishop Charles Manuel “Sweet Daddy” Grace was the founder, in 1919, of the United House of Prayer for All People of the Church on the Rock of Apostolic Faith. His denomination was based on the “apostolic faith” that emerged from the Azusa Street Revival in Los Angeles (1906); he emphasized God’s power to heal and advocated worship filled with the spirit. Daddy Grace drew attention from the press for his flamboyant attire, long painted fingernails, and extensive investments in real estate.
