Holy laughter
Holy laughter is a term used within charismatic Christianity that describes a religious behaviour in which individuals spontaneously laugh during church meetings. It began in the early 1990s in Neo-charismatic churches and the Third Wave of the Holy Spirit.
==History==
Practices similar to holy laughter were observed in the 1800s in Holiness Christian meetings on the American West. John Wesley encountered uncontrollable laughter in his
meetings, but viewed it as an act of the devil.〔Porter 1996, p. 108〕 It also occurred in Signs and Wonders meetings run by John Wimber in the 1980s.〔Porter 1996, p. 106〕 The practice came to prominence in meetings led by the South African evangelist Rodney Howard-Browne in 1993 at the Carpenter's Home Church in Lakeland, Florida and was often accompanied by the "Slain in the Spirit" phenomena.〔 The laughter ranges from very quiet to loud convulsive hysterics, which are said to be accompanied by temporary dissociation.〔Porter 1996, p. 102〕 It was also observed in meetings held at Oral Roberts University.〔Poloma 2003, p. 155〕 The phenomena was then popularized by ''Charisma'' and the Trinity Broadcasting Network, and became controversial within charismatic Christianity.〔Diamond 2000, p. 208〕
Though primarily found in Protestant churches, it was observed in some parts of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal, as well.〔Cimino 2001, p. 33〕 The practice spread to the Association of Vineyard Churches, most notably to the Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship in 1994. Religious revival meetings at the church became very popular, drawing 75,000 visitors that year.〔 Many attendees at the meetings spent time laughing loudly while lying on the floor.〔
