There are notable operational and theological similarities between Pentecostalism and the Charismatic movements in Nigeria. This has led to many studies about the influence between the two. With regard to similarities between Pentecostals and Charismatic Catholics in Nigeria, such studies often assume the former as influencing the latter. In this paper, however, we demonstrate that the similarities and difference between the two movements in Nigeria have more complex origins than just one copying from the other. The cultural environment and a shared New Testament Canon in spite of the varied hermeneutics between Catholics and Pentecostals explain a good deal of the similarities. The doctrinal and liturgical frameworks of Catholicism and Pentecostalism explain the difference especially with respect to the understanding and function of prophecy among these Christian groups. Despite the complexity in the explanation of influence between the two movements, we note that an undeniable influence of Pentecostalism on the Catholic Charismatic movement, theologically and operationally represented by Ejike Mbaka, is the use of the charism of prophecy to influence political affairs.

In Reunion Island, the Charismatic Renewal was introduced in 1974 by the Mauritian nun Marie-Lise Corson. It quickly became extremely successful against the Assemblies of God, a Pentecostal movement which had established itself on the island eight years earlier. And just like this other movement, it drew heavily on the “Creole religious system” in order to foster a seemingly reverse process of “eradicating” popular religiosity. It redefined the traditional system without discrediting it. Beginning with the 1980s-1990s, growing religious globalization encouraged new communities originally set up in mainland France or Quebec to come to the island. The life of these outside groups intersected with that of the local assemblies and leaders, winning them over. This second period further corresponded to a normalization of the Renewal which brought its practices back into the Catholic fold. A third phase started in the late 1990s and early 2000s with the creation of groups on the fringes of the diocesan Renewal that tended to re-emphasize the attributes of Creole identity and move closer to the neo-Pentecostal movement. Thus, the study of the birth and development of the Charismatic Renewal in the French Indian Ocean departement brings to light three waves. Drawing on ethnological research, this paper will analyse them by looking at the ways in which this transnational and transdenominational movement has interacted with local religious and cultural practices.

This archive-based study aims to enlighten the way the Emmanuel Community, which is one of the most important Catholic charismatic international community, founded in France in 1973, participated in World Youth Days, the global mega gatherings of young Catholics initiated by Pope John Paul II in 1984. In doing so, it questions the complicated coexistence within Catholicism between geographical structures, including parishes, dioceses and national conferences of bishops, and transnational charismatic movements, which aggregate the faithful on the basis of spiritual affinities (and not according to the place they live in). It is argued that, despite initial failures and tensions, World Youth Days were an opportunity for the Emmanuel Community to be more included within traditional Catholic institutions, first in Rome and then in France.

The official origins of the Catholic Charismatic renewal can be traced to Duquesne University (Pittsburgh, PA), in 1967, when a group of Catholics were baptized in the Holy Spirit. The movement soon spread to the University of Notre Dame (South Bend, IN) and Michigan State University (East Lansing, MI), and the University of Michigan (Ann Arbor, MI), all of which became centres of the expanding renewal. While the Catholic hierarchy initially distanced itself, this approach was later superseded by the legitimization of the movement, which was achieved due to the work of Cardinal Leon Joseph Suenens’s mediation between the Catholic Charismatic renewal and the Vatican, and eventually by the centralizing effort pursued by Cardinal Paul Josef Cordes and the Pontifical Council for the Laity. The aim of this paper is to reflect on what happened to the Catholic Charismatic movement from the late 1960s to the late 1980s, how it developed as it moved geographically from the United States to the world, and how it was transformed by passing through Rome.

Pentecostals form the largest faction of evangelicalism in Chile and Latin America more widely. Their message has appealed especially to the urban poor, but this explains their success only in part. In Chile, Pentecostals have managed to withstand an overall decline of evangelicalism through a pattern of growth by fragmentation. Whereas traditional evangelical churches are struggling to retain their membership, let alone establish new branches or engage in missionary efforts, Pentecostal congregations are spreading and growing in number still. This is not so much the result of systematic missionary efforts, but of Pentecostal fragmentation and of its adaptability to the living situations of socially vulnerable classes. Based on a four-year investigation that looked into the history and geographical distribution of eleven Christian denominations in the three most populated metropolitan areas of Chile, the article offers a detailed analysis of the growth and development of Pentecostal churches among the urban poor. The example studied here is the Bajos de Mena, a poorly built and extremely dense neighbourhood of Santiago de Chile, raised up by the Chilean post-dictatorship governments to resettle poor urban dwellers from areas they previously occupied. Bajos de Mena is replete with Pentecostal churches of various types, and most of them can be explained by following the resettlement movements of their adherents and leaders. Tracing the distribution and history of Pentecostal churches in Bajos de Mena, the article offers an anthropogeographical lens to explaining the success and fragmented nature of the Pentecostal churches in certain sectors of Chilean society.
五旬节派是智利和拉丁美洲最大的福音派。他们的信息尤其吸引了城市贫民,但这只能部分解释他们的成功。在智利,五旬节派通过分裂增长的模式,成功抵御了福音派的整体衰落。当传统的福音派教会都在努力保持他们的成员,更不用说建立新的分支机构或从事传教工作时,五旬节教会的会众数量仍然在扩大和增长。这与其说是系统性传教努力的结果,不如说是五旬节派的分裂及其对社会弱势阶层生活状况的适应性的结果。基于对智利三个人口最多的大都市地区11个基督教教派的历史和地理分布进行了为期四年的调查,这篇文章详细分析了五旬节派教会在城市穷人中的成长和发展。这里研究的例子是Bajos de Mena,这是智利圣地亚哥的一个建筑简陋、人口极其密集的社区,由智利后独裁政府修建,以重新安置他们以前占领地区的贫困城市居民。巴霍斯德梅纳充满了各种各样的五旬节派教堂,其中大多数可以通过跟踪其信徒和领导人的重新安置运动来解释。这篇文章追踪了五旬节派教会在Bajos de Mena的分布和历史,从人类地理学的角度解释了五旬节派教会在智利社会某些领域的成功和分裂性质。
