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 various Christian denominations, including Protestantism and Catholicism. This movement encourages personal experiences of faith and a direct relationship with God. Charismatic worship often features lively music, expressive prayer, and a focus on community. It has significantly influenced many churches and has led to the growth of Pentecostalism, which shares similar beliefs about the Holy Spirit's active role in believers' lives.
