Finney was most active as a revivalist 1825-35, and was known for his innovations in preaching and religious meetings. These included having women pray out loud in public meetings of mixed gender; development of the "anxious seat", a place where those considering becoming Christians could come to receive prayer; and public censure of individuals by name in sermons and prayers.[8] He was also known for his use of extemporaneous preaching. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Grandison_Finney
