- CORPORATE RELIGIOUS EXPERIENCES
- group of individuals all have the same/similar religious experience at the same time
- Bible: story of Pentecost (Chapter 2 of the Book of Acts)- all felt the same rush of wind and saw tongues of fire
- Toronto Blessing 1994: all experienced feeling overcome by the holy spirit
- More evidential force than solitary experiences
- More times an experience can be witnessed by different people the more weight it holds; group experiences can be more veridical
- However: may be elements of group pressure- experiences are caused by whipped up hysteria in a heightened emotional atmosphere rather than by the holy spirit
- More times an experience can be witnessed by different people the more weight it holds; group experiences can be more veridical
- group of individuals all have the same/similar religious experience at the same time
