The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) has told a group of Christians in Bath not to make any claims which state or imply that, by receiving their prayer, people could be physically healed, reports Christian Concern for our Nation. A registered Christian trust, the ‘Healing on the Streets – Bath’ (HOTS) team, comprised of Christians from many different churches, have been praying for the public outside Bath Abbey for three years and regularly offer to pray for people who are sick to receive healing. But atheist Hayley Stevens took offence to the group’s adverts, complaining to the ASA that the claims by the Christians could 'not be substantiated'. Her complaint was upheld and the ASA have now ordered the group to stop stating on their website or in literature that God can heal. Andrea Minichiello Williams, CEO of Christian Concern, said: ‘This decision strikes at the heart of freedom of belief in the UK.’

Pray: that the ASA ruling will not limit the work of the HOTS team but that God will use them more powerfully.. (Jn.16:33)
