All over Britain, small groups of Christians, disillusioned with the established denominations, are setting up their own independent fellowships. They have no ordained clergy, and avoid ecclesiastical rituals.
Instead they are searching for the gifts of the Holy Spirit as described in the early Church in the New Testament. The fellowships, led by 'apostles' and 'elders', are estimated to have at least 100,000 members, and make up probably the fastest-growing religious movement in Britain.
Rosemary Hartill, the BBC's Religious Affairs Correspondent, has been visiting some of these new fellowships, talking to their critics, and exploring the challenge they offer to British Christian life. Producer DAVID COOMES long wave only
