"Since its beginning in the early 1960s, the ecumenical charismatic renewal has exerted a continuous influence upon mainline Christian bodies, both Protestant and Roman Catholic. Recent studies by George Gallup indicate approximately 18 percent of United Methodists identify with the movement.

"At the 1972 session of the General Conference of The United Methodist Church, the Western Pennsylvania Annual Conference brought a petition asking that a position statement be prepared on the posture of the United Methodist Church toward the charismatic movement."
