The Controversy Surrounding the City of Faith: Miracle or Mistake?

The text discusses the controversy surrounding the construction of the City of Faith hospital in Tulsa. Many Tulsans doubt the wisdom of the project and raise concerns about competition with existing medical complexes, staffing shortages, duplication of services, the size of the hospital, and the cost. The local medical community views the hospital as causing havoc in the city and potentially overshadowing the scientific aspects of medicine. Oral Roberts, the evangelist behind the project, maintains that the hospital will serve his worldwide constituency and bring in additional jobs. However, there are doubts about the feasibility and necessity of the hospital, as well as its potential impact on existing medical facilities.
