of the early history of the Charismatic Renewal in the

became

Participants: Inga Pagreus is a deacon in S:ta Clara (swedish
lutheran
church) in the city of Stockholm. S:ta Clara has an
extensive
social work among homeless, drugaddicts and prostitutes.
We hope to be a channel for Jesus to every person we meet,
and invite people to the community in the church where we
can offer friendship and mediate contacts with social autho-
rities, healthcare and treatment clinics, Inga says. The parish
is organized
in cell-groups, and the social work is dependent on volunteers
and is
grounded in prayer.
1. The Holy Spirit and social work
As Christians we are called to help our neighbour and bring the
love
of God to them through social work reaching out to those in
need.
With example from among others S:ta Clara church in the city
of
Stockholm we study how prayer an openness to the Holy Spirit is
a
source of power and inspiration for this. (Inga Pagreus)
2. The Holy Spirit and parish evangelization
- Youth is the Church of today!
Many people find it difficult to live an active Christian life
in accord
with Church tradition. A parish need to offer support for the
families
to communicate Faith to next generation and to evangelize in
the
neighbourhood. It needs to reach out to the young people which
is not
only the Church of the future, but foremost the Church of
today.
This workshop is about how a fuller life in the Holy Spirit
enriches the
Church with many gifts. Gifts of prayer and praise that deepens
the
contemplative dimension of the christian faith, gifts of service
that
inspire to a holy life in work for peace and justice, the
charismatic
gifts that give a sensitivity for the Spirit, and an expectant
faith that
God really can change human conditions, and a more devoted
engage-
ment for evangelization. The workshop has its focus especially
on the
young generation. (Christof Hemberger)
3. The Holy Spirit and Christian unity
The Pentecostal movement originated as an unexpected deve-
lopement in World Christianity early in the 20:th century.
In
the middle of the 20:th century the typical pentecostal
experi-
ence also became rooted in the older denominations, the
luthe-
ran, anglican and catholic churches in the form of
charismatic
renewal. What is the purpouse with this acting of God? What
is the role of this pentecostal/charismatic stream in a
broader
ecumenical context? This is items that will be reflected over
in
this workshop. (Charles Whitehead)

burg in southern Germany. He and his wife Sabine are
