Having said that, I have to hand it to the evangelicals in one regard: if, as is usual, Christians accept a fairly Pauline interpretation, then at least some of them are bothering to have their church elders actually heal people! That's another bit most other denominations appear not to have read. The monks typically manage the poverty bit but I don't notice them attempting the faith healing. But happy to focus more on what we imagine might be in the NT had the Jerusalem church been the dominant influence.
