Religious identity through religious experience
Charismatic movement: the experience of gifts of the Spirit in churches other than Pentecostal
denominations from the 1960s to today.
What does charismatic mean?
Comes from the greek ‘charismata’ means ‘gifts of grace’.
This is the word the Apostle Paul uses to refer to special qualities that Christians receive
through the Holy Spirit.
There are several lists of ‘spiritual gifts’ in the New Testament. The gifts are not standardised
over all passages, attention was being drawn to the numerous ways to express God’s grace.

by preacher Charles Fox Parham.
Parham believed that the Holy Spirit was going to descend in a special way on the Church. He
asked his students to read the book of Acts and to pray that they would receive the Holy Spirit.
One of his students Agnes Ozman is reported to have spoken in tongues and soon after many
students experience what they believed to be the gifts of the spirit.
An itinerant African-American preacher, William James Seymour, also followed Parham’s
ministry.
In 1906 Seymour moved to Los Angeles and led a small prayer group which rapidly grew as a
