Charismatic movement

The Charismatic Movement is a religious revival that began in the mid-20th century within various Christian denominations. It emphasizes the direct experience of the Holy Spirit, often manifesting through spiritual gifts such as speaking in tongues, healing, and prophecy. Charismatic Christians believe that these gifts continue today, unlike some traditional views that see them as limited to the early church. This movement has crossed denominational lines, influencing both Protestants and Catholics, and emphasizes a vibrant worship style and personal connection to faith, encouraging individuals to seek a deeper spiritual experience.
