520 |a The charismatic renewal movement has long been identified with expressions of ecstatic and esoteric religion; speaking in tongues, prophecies and healings. Since 1994 the manifestations associated with the movement appeared to have grown in intensity as part of the phenomenon that has come to be known as the ‘Toronto Blessing'. The explanations offered for the ‘Blessing' vary considerably. This article suggests that it can best be accounted for by the psychological pressures built up by the prolonged hope for revival within an eschatological framework. Secondly, that it can be explained by the increasing social marginalization of the movement in the marketplace of new religions. Thirdly, a key variable in understanding developments is the role played by John Wimber's Vineyard Fellowship which offers a unique response to the process of secidarisation by carrying both fundamentalist and modernist tendencies.
