Charismatic started in the Roman Catholic Church and higher church Protestants. Many grew dissatisfied with their denominations, the opposition by the leadership of those denominations, and the restrictive dogmas of some of these denominations. It still happens today within mainline and conservative churches. Those who were never part of a Pentecostal or Charismatic denomination or church but formed from small groups or meetings are third wave. Each of the three share many beliefs, but there is also differences. I have read that some Pentecostal churches in older Pentecostal denominations have lost the distinctive practices and the same can be said of some Charismatic churches, i.e. public tongues, emphasis on the working of the Holy Spirit sign and wonders following the proclamation of the Gospel and other distinctiveness. A label or name doesn't matter, what matters is what is that Church doing? Are they proclaiming Christ and the Gospel, or are they a group working for social/political change, is the emphasis on programming and numbers? The name on a sign unfortunately doesn't tell much anymore.

Actually the charismatic movement had its early beginnings in the Episcopalian church with Dennis Bennett.

When I first got saved and baptized in the Holy Spirit in '77 one of the first books I read was by him, I think it was "The Holy Spirit and You". I think I may ave read "9 O'clock In the Morning" too.

The book "Nine O'clock...." told the story of his first encounter with the Baptism. He was well known in those days. I met him personally once, back then, at an Episcopalian Church in Springfield MO that was having first encounters with Holy Spirit. It seemed strange to see the Nave filled with people speaking in tongues and with hands raised. More freedom and less form.

Yes, like I said, "high church Protestants" i.e. Episcopalians and Lutherans along with the Roman Catholic Church.

In the early 1970s, we met an elderly Episcopalian minister, "Father Sherwood I think was his name, ... a tongue-talking Episcopalian priest. He preached several services for us. He was a spry old fella, full of energy, both spiritual and physical.
