Faith healers get prison. Church may be changing.

Faith healers get prison. Church may be changing.

Faith News Note — An Oregon City faith healer couple were sentenced to three months prison and three months probation for denying medical treatment to their newborn based on faith convictions.   They were previously convicted of manslaughter and attend the Followers of Christ Church where several other couples have been convicted for denying medical treatment. The District Attorney said he hopes this case sends a message and is ready to prosecute more if they occur.    The KATU-TV video hints that this recent case may be a turning point for the Oregon City faith healing church as no new cases have surfaced.
