William J. Seymour (1870–1922) war ein afroamerikanischer Prediger und die zentrale Leitungsfigur des Erweckungsaufbruchs in der Azusa Street in Los Angeles, der zum Ausgangspunkt der weltweiten Pfingstbewegung wurde. Er steht für das Wirken des Heiligen Geistes, die Praxis der Geistesgaben und die zur damaligen Zeit radikale Überwindung von Rassentrennung und Geschlechterhierarchien im gemeinsamen Gottesdienst. Für Bibellesende heute veranschaulicht er das neutestamentliche Ideal einer durch den Geist geeinten Gemeinschaft, die gesellschaftliche Barrieren durchbricht.
