{{History of Christian theology}}{{See also|Apostolic-Prophetic Movement|Convergence Movement|Jesus movement}}
Concomitant to the power shift was a change in [[evangelicalism]] itself, with new groups arising and extant ones switching their focus. There was a new emphasis on a personal relationship with Jesus from newly styled "[[Non-denominational Christianity|non-denominational]]" churches and "community faith centers". This period also saw the rise of non-traditional churches and [[megachurch]]es with conservative theologies and a growth in [[parachurch organization]]s while [[mainline Protestant]]ism lost many members. The [[Jesus Movement]] is considered by some to be part of the Fourth Great Awakening.{{fact|date=April 2024}}

Vinson Synan (1997) argues that a [[Charismatic movement|charismatic]] awakening occurred between 1961 and 1982. This stemmed from a [[Pentecostal]] movement that placed emphasis on experiencing what they saw as the [[gifts of the Spirit]], including [[speaking in tongues]], [[faith healing]], and [[prophecy]]. It also focused on strengthening spiritual convictions through these gifts and through signs taken to be from the [[Holy Spirit]]. Originally a Protestant movement, its influence spread to some in the [[Roman Catholic Church]] at a time when Catholic leaders were opening up to more [[ecumenical]] beliefs, to a reduced emphasis on institutional structures, and to an increased emphasis on [[Catholic spirituality|spirituality]] at the [[laity|lay]] level.<ref>Edith L Blumhofer and Randall Balmer (1993), ''Modern Christian Revivals''</ref>
