I geuss for alot of baby boomers Oral Roberts was the first properity gospel preacher to be seen so much on tv. For better or worse.
I still remember my granparents watching his TV show in the middle of the last century. His shows always had a segment where he “healed” people from the audience, and he ended with healing for the afflicted at home. All they had to do was put one hand on their TV and the other hand on their ailment while he prayed. Once when Grandma saw Grandpa sitting with one hand on the TV and the other in his lap she told him “He said he was going to heal the sick, not raise the dead.”
