How has charismatic worship affected Christian denominations?
How has charismatic worship impacted Christians in general and for 3 specific denominations?
Charismatic worship has impacted Christians in general as it infuses corporate worship with a new life and has provided Christians with more choice in how they worship. It offers a livelier and more vibrant approach to worship that was previously not available.
The charismatic renewal (CR) impacted Roman Catholics (RC) quite a lot. RCs have three documents that agree with the teachings of the CR. For example the Lumen Gentium says that each person that is baptised is holy and accepts the validity of the baptisms of other Christians. The second document is the Sacrosantum Concillium which calls each person to actively worship, opens up the possibility for all genres of music and encourages praying with others (main beliefs of CR). The final one is the Dei Verbum which promotes the renewal of the bible in prayer. RCs accept CR as authentic and relatively uncontroversial. Many Catholics were pleased to see the renewal of healing services and enjoyed praying freely and spontaneously in a way that felt natural to the bible. RCs were also impacted as the formation of an ecumenical bridge caused them to do research into the role of the Holy Spirit within their denomination.
For the orthodox Christians (OC) there was a lot of controversy as OCs have very solemn and silent services (opposite of CR). Most OCs dislike modernisation and don’t want to abandon the richness of tradition. They think CR can only fill the gaps in OC where there is something missing. They believe that speaking in tongues is actually mocking the HS so don’t agree with CRs doing it. OCs try not to babble or become too emotional as they condemn emotional frenzy so do not like the fainting, crying etc. that CRs do. They think CRs are victims of arrogance which blinds them of evangelical humility.
The Anglican church was impacted as they both believe in emphasis on healing, dreams prophetic utterances,
