A Miracle of Healing?

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

In 1971. Elizabeth was diagnosed as suffering from the severest form of leukaemia. She is now a healthy 14-year-old. ELIZABETH'S FATHER:
I went up to the altar with Elizabeth for laying on of hands, and from that moment onwards I could see colour beginning to flood back into her pale cheeks. A very awe-inspiring sight ... Quite obviously some energy passed into her ...
DOCTOR: I happen to believe that medicine and religion go hand in hand and that sort of thing can happen ...
CONSULTANT HAEMATOLOGIST:
The majority of these cases are dead by the end of two years ... This is an extraordinary case ... but without medical treatment I solemnly believe Elizabeth would not have had this success ... Producer BARBARA CROWTHER
