Pentecostal and Charismatic Christianity

The movement that expects the Holy Spirit's baptism and gifts, tongues among them, as the normal Christian experience, crossing the Protestant families and entering the Catholic Church as the Charismatic Renewal.

Pentecostalism began in the revivals of the early twentieth century, at Topeka and Azusa Street, themselves fed by the Wesleyan-Holiness movement, and became the largest movement in world Christianity. It is a movement, not a denomination: it crosses the Protestant families as Pentecostal denominations and fellowships, and it entered the Catholic Church from 1967 as the Charismatic Renewal.

This movement also stands under Catholic, because a movement crosses branches and is never forced into one.
