Kathryn Johanna Kuhlman (May 9, 1907 - February 20, 1976) was a 20th Century American faith healer. She believed in miracles and deliverance by the power of the Holy Spirit, and was part of the Pentecostal arm of Protestant Christianity. She was born in Concordia, Missouri to German parents and died in Tulsa, Oklahoma, following open-heart surgery [ [http://www.online-bibleconcordance.com/Ministers/KathrynKuhlman.aspx] "She was born in Concordia, Missouri to German parents and died in Tulsa, following open-heart surgery."] .

Life

She was born-again at the age of fourteen in the Methodist Church of Concordia, and began preaching in the West at the age of sixteen.Fact|date=May 2008

Kuhlman traveled extensively around the United States and in many other countries holding "healing crusades" between the 1940s and 1970s. She had a weekly TV program in the 1960s and 1970s which aired nationally called "I Believe In Miracles".

In 1972, she was granted an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree by Oral Roberts University.Fact|date=May 2008

Kathryn Kuhlman is interred in the Forest Lawn Memorial Park Cemetery in Glendale, California.

She is survived by her eponymous foundation: The Kathryn Kuhlman Foundation. The foundation was established in 1954, and its Canadian branch in 1970. In 1982 the foundation terminated its nationwide radio broadcasting.

A plaque in her honor is located in the main city park in Concordia, Missouri, a town located in central Missouri on Interstate Highway 70.

Critics and Criticism

Kuhlman's critics assert that she purposely deceived her audience because there is a lack of scientific evidence to prove the validity of faith healing. [http://www.deceptioninthechurch.com/kuhlman.htm]

Kuhlman supporters counter that she did not touch those she would presume to heal as they approached her on the platforms of the mass meetings. Instead, she would extend her hand toward them, and they were presumed to "fall under the power" and be Slain in the Spirit.Fact|date=May 2008

Accounts of alleged healings were published in books that were "ghost-written" by author Jamie Buckingham of Florida. Buckingham also wrote a biography of Kathryn Kuhlman that presented an unvarnished account of her life, including a failed marriage due to her husband not letting her preach the gospel.
