EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph captured in Brighton during the 1930s, we witness a moment of profound faith and hope. Crippled men and women gather at the Church of St Stephens to attend the first-ever faith healing service led by The Reverend John Maillard. As they navigate their way up the steps with determination, their faces reveal both anticipation and longing for a miracle. The image showcases Reverend Maillard's unwavering dedication as he carefully places numerous letters on the altar. These heartfelt pleas for prayer were sent by individuals unable to physically attend the service but desperately seeking solace from their afflictions. Each letter represents a story of pain, resilience, and an unyielding belief in divine intervention. This powerful snapshot encapsulates a moment where spirituality intersects with human vulnerability. It serves as a testament to the enduring power of faith in times of adversity. The monochrome composition adds depth to this historical scene, emphasizing its timeless significance. As we gaze upon this poignant photograph today, it reminds us not only of our shared humanity but also encourages contemplation about how faith can provide comfort and strength amidst life's challenges.
