What happened at a Miracle Service

Christian History Magazine describes a 1968 broadcast on which Kuhlman asked Presbyterian minister Donald Shaw about his experience at one of her Carnegie Hall services in Pittsburgh. Shaw recalled people coming to the stage to tell their stories. His account offers a view of how a participant experienced the service and how testimony became part of a public broadcast.

How to read the testimony

A meeting account can tell us who spoke, what they said, and how the audience responded. Establishing a change in a medical condition requires evidence beyond the recollection of the meeting. Readers can preserve that distinction while taking the participants’ experiences seriously. It is also worth asking how the music, the venue, and the time allotted for testimony shaped what a visitor remembered.

Study the Biblical text

First Corinthians 12 locates gifts within the life of a community and directs attention to the common good. Vince Baker Ministries’ Divine Healing Manual is a companion for readers who want to explore the Biblical passages on healing prayer in more depth.
