"One woman received her sight, another received her hearing, people have had their migraines healed, cancer, lupus, hypertension, sciatica and all kinds of other issues like depression have been healed," said Carolyn Rogers, assistant Convener of the 30 year old local chapter of the International Order of St. Luke the Physician (OSL), a world-wide organization whose mission it is to offer healing and training in healing the same way Jesus Christ healed 2000 years ago. This non-denominational healing order is Christian but welcomes people of all faiths and denominations to come for physical, emotional, mental or spiritual healing or training in healing.
"People are mistaken when they think healing by the Holy Spirit is wild, weird or wacky," says Ms. Rogers. "We don't jump around, we're quiet, compassionate and joyful in the most welcoming and pleasant way...and yet we have many wonderful healings all during the year at our monthly meetings too!" she says, merrily. She stresses that the individuals who heal are not doing the healing, Christ is. She and the thousands of individuals who have learned to heal as Christ did are grateful to do so, but it is Jesus Christ Himself who is healing through them.
Bishop Alex McCullough, who rekindled the local chapter of the OSL in 1978 and still opens the monthly sessions and yearly conferences says, "The healing we offer freely to all is Bible based, but you don't have to be Christian, or even religious, to be healed. We are led by the joyful Holy Spirit, and this is open to everyone, no matter what."

In 1983 he was made a Canon of St. John's Cathedral in recognition of his work in renewal and the healing ministry. In 1989 he was collated as the Archdeacon of Saskatoon, East.
