The Toronto Blessing

In 1994 at the Airport Church in Toronto, Canada, reports emerged of hundreds of people rocking on their feet and rolling around on the floor for hours at a time. Soon this wave of Acts 1- like spiritual phenomena spread to churches all around the world and many believers were caught up in a spiritual wave of laughing, crying, fainting and speaking in tongues. Sadly this Toronto Blessing ended up creating division, as whilst some believed it to be a move of the Holy Spirit others felt it was at best over-enthusiasm, or at worst it came from the devil.


Coincidentally or not "Toronto" is the Huron Indian word for meeting place and originally it was a central spot for the Indians, French, Americans and British where many different languages were spoken.
