The term "Charismatic Movement" refers to a religious phenomenon that emerged in the 1960s and has since spread worldwide. It is characterized by its emphasis on spiritual gifts, especially those related to healing, prophecy, and speaking in tongues. The movement places great importance on personal faith and experience of God's grace, often involving emotional expressions of worship and prayer. While the Charismatic Movement has roots in various Christian denominations, including Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox traditions, it is most closely associated with mainline Protestant churches and the Pentecostal/Charismatic branch of Protestantism. The movement's name comes from the Greek word "charisma," which refers to spiritual gifts given by God for the benefit of others.
