Christian healing ministry or bed of iniquity?


In this Christian country, we proudly espouse freedom, tolerance and social inclusiveness. We are a nation of strong Christian principle in which people have historically revered the Christian church and its Ministers who are called to administer to Biblical principles, to be voices for the oppressed and advocates against cruelty and ill treatment.


We would believe then, that Ministers are faithful, holy and just people, devoid of cruel intentions and self-seeking objectives. The churches claim to be kind and caring and self-sacrificial in the love its ministers show to all, and to genuinely hold a sense of compassion.


That, at least, is the theory

As will be seen from the documents on this website, the experiences of one person, laid in the path of a woman priest, came nowhere near to fulfilling this ideal.
