In Durham, NC, at Catch the Fire Church, evangelist Carol Arnott exemplifies charismatic Christianity's impact, where worshippers experience the Holy Spirit through physical manifestations like being 'slain in the Spirit.' This movement, which emphasizes spiritual empowerment similar to early Christian apostles, is growing rapidly, accounting for more than half of the U.S. 'born-again' population. Ironically, this surge in supernatural belief occurs concurrently with an overall decline in traditional church attendance, suggesting that secularism may fuel a revival of extraordinary faith experiences.
When I attended a gathering at Catch the Fire Church last year, a petite blond woman made her way down the aisle, calling on the Holy Spirit.
Catch the Fire belongs to the fastest-growing group of Christians, charismatic Christians, who believe the Holy Spirit empowers them to heal and prophesy.
