Abstract/Summary
This study focused on the extent of participation of the members of the El Shaddai Catholic Charismatic Renewal Movement in the Metro Manila chapter. It used the descriptive design utilizing multi-method approaches namely in-depth interview, participant-as-observer method, and document study. Thirty-two (32) respondents were purposively chosen according to age, sex, and income status. Analysis of data show that the motivations and needs of the respondents in joining the movement, organizational culture and leader of the movement, and impact of involvement in their personal life, family, work, and community influence the extent of participation of members in the movement. The motivations and needs of the respondents converge on a few themes: physical healing, material and financial need, solution to problems of interpersonal relationships, renewal of lives, and spiritual needs. The organizational culture are the shared things such as the oil and the handerchief, the shared sayings like Praise the Lord, and Alleluia, and the shared doings such as the raising of hands, tithes-giving, and attendance to prayer meetings. Respondents perceive Brother Mike as an instrument of God. The major change brought about by their involvement in the movement is the renewal of their personal life freedom from vices and change in attitude, family life, work attitudes and community life. Furthermore, the researchers noted that the majority of the members of El Shaddai movement belong to the C, D, and E social strata. Thus, recommendations for future studies were generated.
