Hello and good day to you! I've noticed through the years, that sometimes, people are amazed and puzzled by the choice of Jim Humble, to call his organisation a church. The reason for that choice, is that there's a law in the US, where organisations involved with healing, are obliged to merge with a religious aspect, suggesting the participation of God. Below is an explanation of what this means, by Jim Humble, from his book "The Health Recovery Guide"
"Appendix B Genesis II Church of Health and Healing The Genesis II Church of Health and Healing was formed to serve mankind. To the best of our knowledge, the Genesis II Church is the first church ever established with this purpose. The Church now has (as of October 31, 2016) more than 1700 trained Ministers of Health in more than 120 countries. Multitudes of lives have been saved to date, and the suffering of millions has been stopped or adverted. The word genesis in the Church’s name signifies the beginning. The number II signifies bringing about a (new) second beginning—it is the intention of the Church to help make a better world. The words health and healing signify that the Church is working towards bringing health to the world.
The word church indicates a group of people with the same beliefs and purpose concerning serving mankind. The purpose of the Church is to help people stay healthy and if they are not, then offer information that they may use for themselves and their families, if they so choose, to get healthy. The Genesis II Church of Health and Healing is a non-denominational Church and it welcomes people from all walks of life, religions and belief systems from all other non-violent religions on Earth. The Church does not require that anyone changes their beliefs and spiritual practices, but all members are united in the common goal and desire to help mankind. The only pre-requisite for becoming a member of the Genesis II Church of Health and Healing is being in support of the following beliefs:
● Doing good deeds
● Good health for all mankind
● Doing what is right
● Freedom for all mankind
● Enlightening others with the truth
● Helping one another
● Living with integrity
Anyone in support of these beliefs is welcome to become a member of the Church
