AN ORTHODOX VIEW OF CHARISMATIC RENEWAL
Some of you may follow Sergei's blog, "A Conservative Blog for Peace."
Sergei has written an essay detailing his thoughts on Charismatism-Pentecostalism from the Orthodox perspective that was sent to me by a reader. It's a good analysis. Unlike me, he is not coming from the experience of being in a parish where there was a charismatic movement that had the sympathy of the pastor and thus the leadership of the parish, and so he is not jaded by the experience as I am. He points out the good fruits along with the failings of the movement, and I mostly agree with what he says.
