Background

The Charismatic Renewal is a loosely knit movement dedicated to the renewal of Christian life through the action of the Holy Spirit and characterized by charismatic phenomena such as prophecy, healing, and speaking in tongues. The Renewal is predominately Catholic, although it stresses ecumenism. The Catholic Charismatic Renewal was established in 1970 to serve as a national organization for the movement.
