General Assemblies and Church of the First Born

Last month two couples, one in Washington and one in Oregon, were charged in the deaths of their respective sons.

One couple was charged with second-degree manslaughter; the other with second-degree murder.

In both cases authorities said the deaths were preventable, were it not for the fact that both sets of parents rejected medical assistance in favor of attempts at faith healing.

Both couples belong to churches known as General Assemblies and Church of the First Born.

We've posted a brief overview at this small 'denomination' on Apologetics Index.
