3: The ‘Toronto Blessing’: Its Impact on the Charismatic and the Reformed Churches

It is twenty years since many churches in the UK experienced a phenomenon that came to be known as 'The Toronto Blessing'. Thought by some people to be a work of the Holy Spirit, people experienced strange and bizaar manifestations such as shaking, uncontrollable laughter and being 'slain in the Spirit'. What was it? What differences did it make? What legacy has it left behind? These were some of the questions that were addressed at this Conference.

Pastor Chris Hand addresses the vital issue of how the legacy of the so-called Toronto Blessing has affected the life of many of the Charismatic, and even some Reformed churches, both here in the UK and elsewhere.
