The
Second Bishop of Kensington
on Healing in Christ's Name
"Why do not we heal the sick in
Christ's name as did the early church? It is to find an
answer to that question that I ventured to suggest this
conference today. And in my invitation I drew your attention
to the challenge which the action of that body of Christians
called Christian Scientists makes. It is to me indisputable
that they do heal the sick both in body and mind. That
notable miracles have been wrought by them we cannot deny.
It is idle to dismiss the evidence in an offhand spirit of
incredulity, still less to be 'offended' because the work of
healing is being done in Christ's name by those who follow
not with us. We must, rather, thankfully hail the guidance
which such experience supplies as a means of recovering that
truth which has either been neglected or overlaid by
us."
