Bill Subritzky

Wilfred Allen ("Bill") Subritzky, from Auckland, New Zealand, was a lawyer and property developer from the mid 1950s until the mid 1980s. In 1971 he became involved in the Charismatic movement, and became an independent evangelist and healer. His company, Universal Homes, mass-produced homes in standard designs. It sold 14,000 homes over the 30-year period of Subritzky's involvement.

Subritzky's faith healing ministry, Dove Ministries, distributes pamphlets, books, videos etc. of his teaching and his evangelistic healing meetings. He is a charismatic Anglican but the style of his ministry is more similar to Pentecostals such as the late Derek Prince.^[1]

Subritzky was a proponent of the Toronto Blessing and its introduction into New Zealand. He frequently attributes problems, whether physical, spiritual, emotional or psychological, to the influence of demons, which he claims to "cast out".^[2] He also claims to have insight through the "word of knowledge" into people's sins, etc., which have made them vulnerable to demonic influence.^[3] Skeptics have questioned his claim that he has ability to cure ailments such as asthma, arthritis and cancer; stating that he uses psychological manipulation to make people feel as though they are healed.^[4][5]

He was married to Lucy Patricia (Pat), who died in 2011.
