Fr. Seraphim Rose Orthodoxy And The Religion Of The Future: Chapter 18: Revival

In this chapter, an interdenominational "charismatic" meeting in Seattle is described where a Greek Orthodox man named Costa Deir prays for the Holy Spirit to sweep through the Greek Orthodox Church, leading to an emotional response and predictions of a spiritual awakening. Six months later, it is noted that the "charismatic spirit" has indeed started to move in the Greek Orthodox Church, with a focus on Fr. Eusebius promoting this movement. The chapter also delves into the historical background of the charismatic revival, tracing its origins back to Protestant and Catholic denominations, and ultimately to the Pentecostal sects. The chapter concludes with a question about the nature of this spirit and a call to test whether it is from God.
