Smith Wigglesworth, a British evangelist who lived from 10 June 1859 to 12 March 1947, had a significant impact on the development of Pentecostalism. Wigglesworth was adaptable and held the view that healing was a result of faith. When the Swedish government forbade him from touching audience members, he advocated for “corporate healing,” in which attendees placed hands on one another. He also practiced giving out “prayer handkerchiefs” and anointing with oil.
