The '''charismatic movement''' in Christianity is a movement within established or mainstream denominations to adopt beliefs and practices of [[Charismatic Christianity]], with an emphasis on [[baptism with the Holy Spirit]], and the use of [[spiritual gift]]s (''charismata''). It has affected most denominations in the United States, and has spread widely across the world.

The movement is deemed to have begun in 1960 in [[Anglicanism]]  ([[Episcopal Church (United States)|Episcopal Church]]) and spread to other mainstream [[Protestantism|Protestant]] denominations, including [[Protestantism in the United States|American Protestant]] both [[Lutheran]]s and [[Presbyterian]]s by 1962, and to [[Roman Catholicism]] by 1967. [[Methodist]]s became involved in the charismatic movement in the 1970s.

The movement was not initially influential in evangelical churches. Although this changed in the 1980s in the so-called [[Third Wave of the Holy Spirit|Third Wave]], the charismatic movement was often expressed in the formation of separate evangelical churches such as the [[Vineyard Movement]]—neo-charismatic organisations that mirrored the establishment of Pentecostal churches. Many traditional evangelical churches remain opposed to the movement and teach a [[Cessationism versus continuationism|cessationist]] theology.

==History==
{{See also|History of Pentecostalism|Charismatic Christianity#History}}
The classic [[Pentecostalism]] movement usually traces its origin to the early twentieth century, with the ministry of [[Charles Fox Parham|Charles F. Parham]]{{sfn|Reid|Linder|Shelley|Stout|1990|pp=241–242}} and the subsequent ministry of [[William J. Seymour|William Joseph Seymour]] and the [[Azusa Street Revival]].<ref>Robeck, Cecil M. (2006) ''The Azusa Street Mission And Revival: The Birth Of The Global Pentecostal Movement'', Thomas Nelson. {{ISBN|9780785216933}}, pp. 2, 12.</ref> Its unique doctrine involved a dramatic encounter with [[God in Christianity|God]], termed [[baptism with the Holy Spirit]]. Some believed that [[glossolalia|speaking in tongues]] was evidence for having had this experience.<ref>Michael G. Moriarty (1992) ''The New Charismatics'', Zondervan Publishing House. {{ISBN|978-0-310-53431-0}}, pp. 20, 70.</ref>

Before 1955 the religious mainstream did not embrace Pentecostal doctrines. If a church member or clergyman openly expressed such views, they would (either voluntarily or involuntarily) separate from their existing denomination. However, by the 1960s many of the characteristic teachings were gaining acceptance among Christians within mainline Protestant denominations.{{sfn|Reid|Linder|Shelley|Stout|1990|pp=241–242}}

The charismatic movement represented a reversal of the previous pattern, as those influenced by Pentecostal spirituality chose to remain in their original denominations.{{Sfn | Menzies | Menzies | 2000 | pp = 38–39}} The popularization and broader acceptance of charismatic teachings and ideas are linked to the [[Healing Revival]] that occurred from 1946 to 1958. The revivalists of the time, including [[William Branham]], [[Oral Roberts]], and [[A. A. Allen]], held large interdenominational meetings which emphasized the gifts of the spirit. This global revival led to greater awareness and acceptance of Pentecostal teachings and practices.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Moriarty |first=Michael |title=The New Charismatics |publisher=Zondervan |year=1992 |isbn=978-0-310-53431-0 |pages=40–51}}</ref>

The [[high church]] wing of the American [[Episcopal Church (United States)|Episcopal Church]] became the first traditional ecclesiastical organization to be affected internally by the new movement. The beginning of the charismatic movement is usually dated to Sunday, April 3, 1960, when [[Dennis Bennett (priest)|Dennis J. Bennett]], rector of St Mark's Episcopal Church in [[Van Nuys, California]] recounted his Pentecostal experience to his parish; he repeated it on the next two Sundays, including Easter (April 17), during which many of his congregation also shared the experience of spirit. He was forced to resign.<ref>Bill J. Leonard, Jill Y. Crainshaw, ''Encyclopedia of Religious Controversies in the United States, Volume 1'', ABC-CLIO, USA, 2013, p. 165</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=DENNIS BENNETT BIOGRAPHY |url=http://www.emotionallyfree.org/DBbio.html |access-date=January 16, 2018 |website=emotionallyfree.org |archive-date=October 11, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111011211731/http://www.emotionallyfree.org/DBbio.html |url-status=dead }}</ref>

The resulting controversy and press coverage spread an awareness of the emerging charismatic movement. The movement grew to embrace other mainline churches, where clergy began receiving and publicly announcing their Pentecostal experiences. These clergy began holding meetings for seekers and healing [[Church service|services]], which included praying over and [[anointing of the sick]]. The charismatic movement reached [[Lutheran]]s and [[Presbyterian]]s in 1962.<ref name="Suenens1978">{{Cite book |last=Suenens |first=Leo Joseph |author-link=Leo Joseph Suenens |title=Ecumenism and Charismatic Renewal: Theological and Pastoral Orientations |date=1978 |publisher=Servant Books |page=21}}</ref>

The charismatic movement led to the founding of many covenant communities, such as [[Sword of the Spirit]] and [[Word of God (community)|Word of God]].

==Beliefs==
Charismatic Christians believe in an experience of [[baptism with the Holy Spirit]] and that spiritual gifts (Greek {{Transliteration|grc|charismata}} {{lang|grc|χαρίσματα}}, from {{Transliteration|grc|charis}} {{lang|grc|χάρις}}, '[[Grace in Christianity|grace]]') of the [[Holy Spirit (Christianity)|Holy Spirit]] as described in the [[New Testament]] are available to contemporary Christians through the infilling or baptism of the Holy Spirit, with or without the [[laying on of hands]].<ref name="Elwell2001">{{Cite book |last=Elwell |first=Walter A. |title=Evangelical Dictionary of Theology |date=2001 |publisher=Baker Academic |isbn=978-0-8010-2075-9 |page=220 |quote=The charismatic movement has affected almost every historic church and has spread to many churches and countries beyond the United States. ... Particular emphases are reflected variously in the charismatic movement. ''Baptism with the Holy Spirit''. There is common recognition of baptism with the Holy Spirit as a distinctive Christian experience. It is viewed as an event wherein the believer is "filled with" the presence and power of the Holy Spirit. Baptism with the Holy Spirit is understood to result from "the gift of the Holy Spirit," wherein the Spirit is freely "poured out," "falls upon," "comes on," "anoints," "endues" the believer with "power from on high." ... Baptism with the Holy Spirit, accordingly, is not identified with conversion. It is viewed as an experience of being filled with the Holy Spirit that brings about powerful witness to Jesus Christ. Through this Spirit baptism the exalted Christ carries forward his ministry in the church and world.}}</ref>{{Sfn | Menzies | Menzies | 2000 | p = 39}}

Although the Bible lists many [[spiritual gift|gifts from God through his Holy Spirit]], there are nine specific gifts listed in 1 Corinthians 12:8–10 that are supernatural in nature and are the focus of and distinguishing feature of the charismatic movement: word of wisdom, word of knowledge, faith, gifts of healing, miraculous powers, prophecy, distinguishing between spirits, speaking in different tongues (languages), and interpretation of tongues.

While Pentecostals and charismatics share these beliefs, there are differences. Many in the charismatic movement deliberately distanced themselves from Pentecostalism for cultural and theological reasons. Foremost among theological reasons is the tendency of many Pentecostals to insist that speaking in tongues is always the initial physical sign of receiving Spirit baptism. Although specific teachings will vary by denomination, charismatics generally believe that the Holy Spirit has already been present in a person from the time of [[regeneration (theology)|regeneration]] and prefer to call subsequent encounters with the Holy Spirit by other names, such as "being filled".{{Sfn | Menzies | Menzies | 2000 | p = 39}}<ref name="CCR2021" /> In contrast to Pentecostals, charismatics tend to accept a range of supernatural experiences (such as prophecy, miracles, healing, or "physical manifestations of an [[altered state of consciousness]]") as evidence of having been baptized or filled with the Holy Spirit.<ref name="GodlyLove64">{{Citation |last1=Poloma |first1=Margaret M |title=The Assemblies of God: Godly Love and the Revitalization of American Pentecostalism |page=64 |year=2010 |place=New York |publisher=New York University Press |isbn=978-0-8147-6783-2 |last2=Green |first2=John C}}.</ref>

Pentecostals are also distinguished from the charismatic movement on the basis of style.<ref>{{Citation |last1=Saunders |first1=Theodore 'Teddy' |title=David Watson, a Biography |page=71 |year=1992 |place=Sevenoaks |publisher=Hodder |last2=Sansom |first2=Hugh}}.</ref> Also, Pentecostals have traditionally placed a high value on [[evangelization]] and [[missionary work]].

In the United Kingdom, [[Colin Urquhart]], [[Michael Harper (priest)|Michael Harper]], [[David Watson (evangelist)|David Watson]], [[Trevor Dearing]] and others were in the vanguard of similar developments.{{citation needed|date=November 2024}}

The [[Massey University]] conference in New Zealand in 1964 was attended by several Anglicans, including the Rev. Ray Muller. He invited Bennett to New Zealand in 1966, and played a leading role in developing and promoting the ''Life in the Spirit'' seminars. Other Charismatic movement leaders in New Zealand include [[Bill Subritzky]].{{citation needed|date=November 2024}}

As of the early 21st century, a "charismatic evangelical" wing or school of thought is commonly identified in the [[Church of England]], contrasted with the [[Conservative evangelicalism in the United Kingdom|conservative evangelical]], [[Anglo-Catholicism|Anglo-Catholic]] and other tendencies. An influential local church in this movement has been London's [[Holy Trinity Brompton]]. [[Justin Welby]], the former Archbishop of Canterbury (2013—2025), has a background in charismatic evangelicalism.<ref>{{Cite news |last1=Sherwood |first1=Harriet |last2=Siddique |first2=Haroon |date=January 21, 2019 |title=I pray in tongues every day, says archbishop of Canterbury |work=The Guardian |url=https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2019/jan/21/i-pray-in-tongues-every-day-says-archbishop-of-canterbury |access-date=January 21, 2019 |archive-date=January 21, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190121031336/https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2019/jan/21/i-pray-in-tongues-every-day-says-archbishop-of-canterbury |url-status=live }}</ref>

===Lutheranism===
Larry Christenson, a Lutheran theologian based in [[San Pedro, California]], did much in the 1960s and 1970s to interpret the charismatic movement for Lutherans. A very large annual conference was held in Minneapolis during those years.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Strand |first=Paul |title=Charismatic Renewal Pioneer Larry Christenson Dies from Icy Fall |url=https://www1.cbn.com/cbnnews/2017/december/charismatic-renewal-pioneer-larry-christenson-dies-from-icy-fall |access-date=December 4, 2019 |website=CBN News |date=December 28, 2017 |archive-date=December 4, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191204103903/https://www1.cbn.com/cbnnews/2017/december/charismatic-renewal-pioneer-larry-christenson-dies-from-icy-fall |url-status=live }}</ref>  Some Lutheran charismatics in the U.S. formed the [[Alliance of Renewal Churches]].

[[Richard A. Jensen]]'s ''Touched by the Spirit'' (1974) played a major role in the Lutheran understanding to the charismatic movement. Other Lutheran charismatic leaders have been [[Harald Bredesen]] and [[Morris George Cornell Vaagenes|Morris Vaagenes]]. In Finland the emergence of charismatic congregations has reversed, in some places, a decline in attendance among Lutheran congregations.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Haapalainen |first=Anna |date=May 2015 |title=An emerging trend of charismatic religiosity in the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland |url=https://journal.fi/ar/article/view/67568/27864 |journal=Approaching Religion |volume=5 |issue=1 |pages=98–113 |doi=10.30664/ar.67568 |access-date=December 4, 2019|doi-access=free }}</ref>

===Reformed===
In Congregational and Presbyterian churches which profess a traditionally [[Calvinist]] or [[Reformed theology]], there are differing views regarding present-day [[continuationism|continuation]] or [[cessationism|cessation]] of the gifts (''[[Spiritual gift|charismata]]'') of the Spirit.<ref name="phen" /><ref name="epidemic">{{Cite book |last1=Masters |first1=Peter |title=Healing Epidemic |last2=Wright |first2=Professor Verna |date=1988 |publisher=Wakeman Trust |isbn=9781870855006 |location=London |page=227}}</ref> Generally, however, Reformed charismatics distance themselves from renewal movements with tendencies that could be perceived as overemotional, such as [[Word of Faith]], [[Toronto Blessing]], [[Brownsville Revival]] and [[Lakeland Revival]].

Prominent Reformed charismatic denominations are the [[Sovereign Grace Churches]] and the [[Every Nation]] Churches in the United States. In Great Britain the [[Newfrontiers]] churches and movement, founded by [[Terry Virgo]], are among Reformed charismatic churches.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Presbyterian and Reformed Churches |url=http://www.tateville.com/churches.html |url-status=usurped |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141111183209/http://www.tateville.com/churches.html |archive-date=November 11, 2014 |access-date=July 19, 2015 |website=tateville.com}}</ref>

[[File:Tarxien erwieh.jpg|thumb|right|Praise and Worship during a Catholic charismatic renewal Healing Service.]]
In the United States the Catholic charismatic renewal was led by individuals such as [[Kevin Ranaghan]] and others at the [[University of Notre Dame]] in [[Notre Dame, Indiana]]. [[Duquesne University]] in Pittsburgh, which was founded by the [[Holy Ghost Fathers|Congregation of the Holy Spirit]], a Catholic religious community, began hosting charismatic revivals in 1977.

In a foreword to a 1983 book by [[Leo Joseph Suenens|Léon Joseph Cardinal Suenens]], at that time the Pope's delegate to the Catholic charismatic renewal, the then [[Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith]], Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger (later [[Pope Benedict XVI]]), comments on the Post Second Vatican Council period stating,
{{blockquote |At the heart of a world imbued with a rationalistic skepticism, a new experience of the Holy Spirit suddenly burst forth.  And, since then, that experience has assumed a breadth of a worldwide Renewal movement. What the New Testament tells us about the Charisms—which were seen as visible signs of the coming of the Spirit—is not just ancient history, over and done with, for it is once again becoming extremely topical.}}
and
{{blockquote |to those responsible for the ecclesiastical ministry—from parish priests to bishops—not to let the Renewal pass them by but to welcome it fully; and on the other (hand) ... to the members of the Renewal to cherish and maintain their link with the whole Church and with the Charisms of their pastors.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Suenens |first=Léon Joseph |title=Renewal and the Powers of Darkness (Malines document) |publisher=Darton, Longman & Todd |year=1983 |isbn=978-0-232-51591-6 |author-link=Leo Joseph Suenens}}</ref>}}

In the [[Roman Catholic]] church, the movement became particularly popular in the [[Filipino people|Filipino]], [[Koreans|Korean]], and [[Hispanic]] communities of the United States; in the Philippines; and in [[Latin America]], mainly Brazil.  Traveling priests and lay people associated with the movement often visit parishes and sing what are known as charismatic masses. It is thought to be the second-largest distinct sub-movement (some 120 million members) within global Catholicism, along with [[Traditional Catholicism]].<ref>{{Citation |last=Barrett |first=David |title=Christian World Communions: Five Overviews of Global Christianity, AD 1800–2025 |work=International Bulletin of Missionary Research |volume=33 |issue=1 |pages=25–32}}.</ref>

A difficulty is the tendency for many charismatic Catholics to take on what others in their church might consider sacramental language and assertions of the necessity of baptism in the Holy Spirit as a universal act. There is little to distinguish such baptism from the sacrament of [[Confirmation in the Catholic Church|confirmation]].<ref>{{Citation |last1=McDonnell |first1=Killian |title=Christian Initiation and Baptism in the Holy Spirit: Evidence from the First Eight Centuries |year=1994 |place=Collegeville, MN |publisher=Michael Glazier Books |last2=Montague |first2=George T}}.</ref> In this regard, a Study seminar organized jointly in [[São Paulo]] by the [[Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity]] and the [[Bishops Conference]] of Brazil{{Which| date=December 2019}} raised these issues. Technically, among Catholics, the baptism of the Holy Spirit is neither the highest nor fullest manifestation of the Holy Spirit.{{vague|date=December 2019}}

Thus baptism of the Spirit is one experience among many within Christianity (as are the extraordinary manifestations of the Spirit in the lives of the saints, notably [[St. Francis of Assisi]] and [[St. Teresa of Avila]], who levitated). Because of this, Catholic charismatics do not hold this experience as dogmatically as do Pentecostals.<ref>{{Citation |title=Study Seminar organized in Brazil |date=November 4, 2005 |work=L'Osservatore romano |page=4 |edition=Italian}}.</ref>

Possibly, [[Padre Pio]] (now St. Pio) provides a modern-day Catholic example of this experience.  Describing his confirmation, when he was 12 years old, Padre Pio said that he "wept with consolation" whenever he thought of that day because "I remember what the Most Holy Spirit caused me to feel that day, a day unique and unforgettable in all my life! What sweet raptures the Comforter made me feel that day! At the thought of that day, I feel aflame from head to toe with a brilliant flame that burns, consumes, but gives no pain." In this experience, Padre Pio said he was made to feel God's "fullness and perfection." Thus a case can be made that he was "baptized by the Spirit" on his confirmation day in 1899. It was one spiritual experience among many that he would have.<ref>{{Citation |last=Ruffin |first=C Bernard |title=Padre Pio: The True Story |pages=312–13 |year=1991 |place=Huntington, IN |publisher=Our Sunday Visitor}}.</ref>

The ''Compendium to the [[Catechism of the Catholic Church]]'' states:

On June 8, 2019, Pope Francis encouraged everyone in Charismatic Renewal "to share baptism in the Holy Spirit with everyone in the Church."<ref>{{Cite web |title=To participants in the International Conference of Leaders of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal International Service - Charis (8 June 2019) {{!}} Francis |url=https://www.vatican.va/content/francesco/en/speeches/2019/june/documents/papa-francesco_20190608_charis.html |access-date=September 23, 2020 |website=www.vatican.va |archive-date=August 8, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200808160948/https://www.vatican.va/content/francesco/en/speeches/2019/june/documents/papa-francesco_20190608_charis.html |url-status=live }}</ref> On June 6, 2019, the CHARIS (Catholic Charismatic Renewal International Service) service was officially inaugurated by Pope Francis.

===Methodism===
In the [[Methodist]] tradition (inclusive of the [[holiness movement]]), [[Baptism with the Holy Spirit#Methodist and Holiness Christianity|baptism with the Holy Spirit]] traditionally refers to the [[second work of grace]] subsequent to the [[born again#Methodism|New Birth]] and is called [[entire sanctification]], in which [[original sin]] is removed and the person is made perfect in love ([[Christian perfection]]).<ref name="UMC2012">{{Cite web |date=2012 |title=Guidelines: The UMC and the Charismatic Movement |url=http://www.umc.org/what-we-believe/guidelines-the-umc-and-the-charismatic-movement |access-date=July 31, 2019 |publisher=[[The United Methodist Church]] |quote=The Methodists were also first to coin the phrase baptism of the Holy Spirit as applied to a second and sanctifying grace (experience) of God. (Cf. John Fletcher of Madeley, Methodism's earliest formal theologian.) The Methodists meant by their "baptism" something different from the Pentecostals, but the view that this is an experience of grace separate from and after salvation was the same. |archive-date=July 31, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190731112659/http://www.umc.org/what-we-believe/guidelines-the-umc-and-the-charismatic-movement |url-status=live }}</ref><ref name="Stokes1998">{{Cite book |last=Stokes |first=Mack B. |title=Major United Methodist Beliefs |publisher=Abingdon Press |year=1998 |isbn=9780687082124 |page=95}}</ref>

Entire sanctification, which may be received instantaneously or gradually, "cleanses the heart of the recipient from all sin (I John 1:7, 9; Acts 15:8, 9), sets him apart and endows him with power for the accomplishment of all to which he is called (Luke 24:49; Acts 1:8)."<ref name="Buschart2009">{{Cite book |last=Buschart |first=W.

In the latter case, the Pentecostal doctrine of a third work of grace accompanied by [[glossolalia]] is condemned by some connexions in the Methodist tradition, such as the [[Pilgrim Holiness Church]], which teaches that the state of [[Christian perfection]] (in which a person is perfect in love) is the goal for humans:<ref name="PHC2000" />
{{blockquote|Those who teach that some special phenomena such as speaking with unknown tongues constitutes a witness to the Baptism with the Spirit expose themselves and their hearers to peril of dangerous fanaticism. Perhaps no wiser counsel has been given on this matter then that of John Wesley who wrote long before the modern "tongues" movement appeared: "The grounds of a thousand mistakes is the not considering, deeply that love is the highest gift of God - humble, gentle, patient love - that all visions, revelation, manifestations whatsoever are little things compared to love. It were well you should be thoroughly sensible of this. The heaven of heavens is love. There is nothing higher in religion; there is in effect, nothing else. If you look for anything but more love you are looking wide of the mark, you are getting out of the royal way. And when you are asking others, "Have you received this or that blessing," if you mean anything but more love you, you mean wrong; you are leading them out of the way, and putting them upon a false scent. Settle it then in your heart, that from the moment God has saved you from all sin, you are to aim at nothing but more of that love described in the thirteenth chapter of First Corinthians. You can go no higher than this till you are carried into Abraham's bosom." ―Doctrine, [[Pilgrim Holiness Church]]<ref name="PHC2000" />}}

Charismatic Methodists in the United States allied with the [[Confessing Movement#Methodist|Good News]] caucus and those in Great Britain have been supported by the Lay Witness Movement,<ref>Methodist Evangelicals Together, [http://www.methodistevangelicals.org.uk/resources/lay-witness-movement Lay Witness Movement] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171204171136/http://www.methodistevangelicals.org.uk/resources/lay-witness-movement |date=December 4, 2017 }}.

=== Adventism ===
{{Main|Charismatic Adventism}}
A minority of [[Seventh-day Adventist Church|Seventh-day Adventists]] today are charismatic. They are strongly associated with those holding more [[Progressive Adventism|"progressive" Adventist beliefs]]. In the early decades of the church charismatic or ecstatic phenomena were commonplace.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Patrick |first=Arthur |author-link=Arthur Patrick |date=c. 1999 |title=Early Adventist worship, Ellen White and the Holy Spirit: Preliminary Historical Perspectives |url=http://www.sdanet.org/atissue/discern/holyspirit.htm |access-date=February 15, 2008 |website=Spiritual Discernment Conference |publisher=SDAnet AtIssue |archive-date=October 7, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181007140636/http://www.sdanet.org/atissue/discern/holyspirit.htm |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Patrick |first=Arthur |author-link=Arthur Patrick |date=c. 1999 |title=Later Adventist Worship, Ellen White and the Holy Spirit: Further Historical Perspectives |url=http://www.sdanet.org/atissue/discern/flesh.htm |access-date=February 15, 2008 |website=Spiritual Discernment Conference |publisher=SDAnet AtIssue |archive-date=October 11, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181011052704/http://www.sdanet.org/atissue/discern/flesh.htm |url-status=live }}</ref>

===Eastern Orthodoxy===
{{Eastern Orthodox sidebar}}
The charismatic movement has not exerted the same influence on the [[Eastern Orthodox Church]] that it has on other mainstream Christian denominations. Although some Eastern Orthodox priests have advanced Charismatic practice in their congregations, the movement is seen as incompatible with Orthodoxy by writers within the church. For instance, an article published in the journal ''Orthodox Tradition'' says,<blockquote>"There is nothing Orthodox about the charismatic movement. It is incompatible with Orthodoxy, in that it justifies itself only by perverting the message of the Fathers, suggesting that the Church of Christ needs renewal, and indulging in the theological imagery of, Pentecostal cultism."<ref>{{Cite journal |title=The Charismatic Movement and Orthodoxy |url=http://orthodoxinfo.com/inquirers/charmov.aspx |journal=Orthodox Tradition |volume=1 |issue=4&5 |pages=29–32 |access-date=December 4, 2019 |archive-date=November 23, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191123054441/http://orthodoxinfo.com/inquirers/charmov.aspx |url-status=live }}</ref></blockquote>

Some priests forward charismatic renewal in the [[Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese]], the Brotherhood of St. Symeon, and other Orthodox churches.<ref>{{Cite web |date=July 30, 2013 |title=What is Renewal? |url=https://ocl.org/what-is-renewal/ |access-date=December 4, 2019 |website=Orthodox Christian Laity |archive-date=December 4, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191204113257/https://ocl.org/what-is-renewal/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

There was a charismatic movement among Evangelical Eastern Orthodox Christians in Russia with [[Laestadianism|Laestadian]] Lutheran influences (the [[Ushkovayzet]]), whose practitioners were known as Hekhulites or Hikhkhulites.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Karelian religious movement Uskhovayzet |url=http://uralistica.com/profiles/blogs/karelskoe-religioznoe |url-status=usurped |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200803182457/http://uralistica.com/profiles/blogs/karelskoe-religioznoe |archive-date=August 3, 2020 |access-date=March 10, 2019}}</ref> Laestadian charismaticism has been attributed to influences from the shamanistic ecstatic religious practices of the [[Sámi peoples|Sámi]], many of whom are Laestadians today.{{Citation needed|date=October 2024}}
