Talk:William Marrion Branham

Did William Marrion Branham found the modern day healing movement?
The statement is made in William Branham's bio that he founded the modern day healing movement. I have thought for some time that John Alexander Dowie, the founder of Zion, Illinois, founded the modern day healing movement by way of introduction in the 1890s. This was some thirty or so years prior to William M. Branham's ministry. Though some of Dowie's healing methods might have been slightly different than those of Branham, he spread the reintroduction of spiritual healing around the world. I have great respect for William Branham, but please consider that Dowie was on the scene before he was.
