Fallen Christian
Loraine Daly, 40, says the spirit of the Lord entered her body at the Sydney Christian Life Centre in Sydney, NSW, Australia, six years ago. A cause for celebration? No: a cause for action — she is suing the Assemblies of God-affiliated church for A$750,000 (US$412,000), alleging the church should have had someone to catch her when she fell to the floor, which happens a lot at this sort of service, she says. Further, she complains, the church should have had a padded area for her to fall, rather than a concrete floor with a thin carpet. She claims her fall caused brain damage, headaches, memory loss and a “feeling of vagueness.” (Sydney Morning Herald) ...Versus shooting for $750,000, which is more a “feeling of Vegas.”
