PECULIAR PEOPLE

This article appears in Volume V21, Page 36 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PAS-PER
PECULIAR PEOPLE , a small sect of
Christian
  faith-healers founded in London in 1838 by John Banyard. They consider themselves bound by the literal interpretation of
James
  v. 14, and in cases of sickness seek no medical aid but rely on oil,
prayer
  and nursing. The community is in the
main
  composedof simple working
people
 , who, apart from their peculiarity, have a good reputation; but their avoidance of professional medical attendance has led to severe criticism at inquests on children who have died for want of it.
