 | | That this Pentecostal empowering is the intention of confirmation is made clear by the fact that the Churches who have practiced Confirmation through the years, especially Anglicans, Romans, and Lutherans, all directed that the same Scripture, Acts 8:14-17, be read at the administration of the rite. | | | I'm pleased to have been asked to discuss the past and future of what has come to be called the "Charismatic renewal." I saw the beginning of this response to the Holy Spirit in the historic Churches, and feel the need to speak to "this generation" about what it was like at the first. | | | This is the breaking forth of the Holy Spirit from the religious prison in which He has been confined through much of Christian history, so that He can begin to make Christians what they are supposed to be: centers of power and joy for the refreshing and healing of the world. |
