charismatic movement

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.02 sec.

charismatic movement

Late 20th-century movement within the Christian church that emphasizes the role of the Holy Spirit in the life of the individual believer and in the life of the church. It is related to the Pentecostal movement.

The movement emerged in California, USA, in the 1960s, and was named after its practice of charismatic worship, a form of informal and uninhibited worship in which the gifts of the Holy Spirit, including healing, prophecy, and speaking in tongues (glossolalia), are made evident.
