Document Summary
Charismatic movements existed in africa dating back to 1914. However, kalu seems to correlate the nigerian civil war (1967-1970) with the eruption of student-led charismatic movements (kalu, 90). Decolonization, disorder, socio economic status, psychological profiles cultural renaissance of ancient communities. They hoped to challenge the mission church to either allow young people more roles and permit charisma or risk the exodus of women and young people to pentecostal fellowships. (catholics did not like either one of these things). Traditional ways of being church are no longer appropriate or consistent with gospel message 95: modern pentecostal movement. The pentecostal church in africa tried to greatly distinguish itself from mission churches that practice powerless christianity (126). They aim to re-evangelize the continent because missionary fatigue has produced compromises of the gospel. The quality of leadership declined as they sped up the process for becoming a minister (127). Churches began forming their own bible colleges which did not require outside accreditation.
