http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catholic_Charismatic_RenewalI'm getting back into reading the Randall Balmer book, his travelogue of American evangelicalism,
Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory: A Journey into the Evangelical Subculture in America. it was assigned reading for a class I took a few semesters back, but I didn't get to far into in until the past few days. one of the chapters is about a newly (or then-newly, was written in 1990) Episcopal church in Georgia, whose pastor and much of the congregation had serious roots in pentecostal/Assembly of God, but were expelled after the pastor started flirting with 'high-church' theology. so the chapter entertained more broadly the whole issue of blending emotionalism/charismatic with the liturgical.
