The Charismatic Movement is a Christian renewal movement that emphasizes the work of the Holy Spirit and the use of spiritual gifts, such as speaking in tongues, prophecy, and healing. It began in the mid-20th century, drawing from earlier movements like the Pentecostal Movement. Charismatic Christians can be found in various denominations, including Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox churches.
This movement encourages personal experiences of faith and a vibrant worship style, often featuring contemporary music and expressive praise. Charismatic believers seek to experience a deeper relationship with God and believe that the gifts of the Spirit are available to all Christians today.
