1953 Voice of Healing Convention
In 1953, many members of William Branham's campaign team and partners in the revival discovered serious issues with Branham, his teaching, and presumably the fictional elements of his stage persona. During a Baxter-Branham event advertised in Connorsville, IN,[1] partner, campaign manager,[2] and long-time supporter Ern Baxter refused to show at the event.[3] Branham described it as a difference of opinion,[4] while Baxter described it as false teaching that bore rotten fruit.[5]
Brotherhood Healing Crusade: Joseph Mattsson-Boze, William Branham, and a Rival Revival Network
In the mid-1950s, William Branham’s rupture with his campaign leadership and the Voice of Healing intersected with Jim Jones’ formation of Peoples Temple, producing a short-lived alliance centered on the Brotherhood Healing Crusade and related Christian Fellowship Conventions. The naming strategies, publications, and personnel involved reveal how revivalist rivalries, doctrinal disputes, and organizational schisms shaped Jones’ early trajectory and Branham’s post-Voice of Healing network.
