| Résumé : |
A vital and growing force in churches around the world is the Charismatic Renewal. Bringing together Christians across denominational lines, it has obvious affinities with the ecumenical movement.
The selection of documents, on-scene reports, and reflections presented here traces the involvement of the World Council of Churches, through its sub-unit on Renewal and Congregational Life, with the charismatic movement. Everyone concerned with the challenges and opportunities which the Charismatic Renewal presents the churches will find this book a thought-provoking and hopeful resource. Arnold Bittlinger, the editor of this volume, has served as consultant to the WCC on the charismatic renewal. |
