What is CHARIS Malaysia?

Name and Purpose

  1. CHARIS MALAYSIA(CM) or CHARIS MALAYSIA NATIONAL SERVICE of COMMUNION, is the national service organism for all expressions for Catholic Charismatic Renewal(or CCR). It is connected to CHARIS INTERNATIONAL, a body set up by His holiness Pope Francis in 2018. It is a current of grace whose appearance in the Catholic Church in 1967 came as a fruit of the Second Vatican Council. Common to all expressions of Catholic Charismatic Renewal is the experience of the fruits of Pentecost through on outpouring of spiritual gifts called Baptism in the Holy Spirit, involving a personal encounter with Jesus Christ as Saviour, an openness to the Word of God, to exercising the charisms and to evangelisation in faithful service of the Church. CHARIS promotes and strengthens communion among all Charismatic realities, fostering a sense of the national & international family of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal.
  2. Recognising Catholic Charismatic Renewal as part of an ecumenical current of grace, CHARIS is an instrument to promote and work for unity in the body of Christ, as expressed in the prayer of Jesus Christ (Jn:17)
  3. As an organism of service, CHARIS exercises no jurisdiction over the Catholic Charismatic Renewal, since all expressions of CCR are directly under the jurisdiction of the local ecclesiastical authorities.
  4. Dioceses which are in close proximity are encouraged to form a regional body (Regional Service of Communion) to collaborate the activities of CCR at a regional level (E.g. Sabah Service of Communion, Sarawak Service of Communion, Peninsular Malaysia Service of Communion).
