I am unfamiliar with the various pathways and intricacies of British law practice ... however like the bar associations ... there are databases to verify if a person is part of it.
The following is just research and perhaps faulty .... however I believe worthy to take note.
According to Wiki's article on Executive Lawyers it reads:
Quote:
Fellows of ILEX
A Fellow of ILEX is a qualified lawyer.
Only Fellows of ILEX (F.Inst.L.Ex) can lawfully describe themselves as a "Legal Executive" and Fellows are also qualified by the Crown (by way of ILEX) to be "Commissioners of Oaths"[1], able to take depositions and affidavits. Fellows also can bring action in court and appear for clients in some, but not all courts. Appearance in higher courts requires a separate ILEX qualification to become a Legal Executive Advocate.
Mr. Boora's bio reads:
Quote:
KULWANT SINGH BOORA is an Adjunct Professor of International Law with Washington Institute for Graduate Studies. Mr. Boora studied law at Sutton Coldfield College where he completed his Professional Dipolma in Law and Higher Professional Diploma in conjunction with the Institute of Legal Executives Tutorial College of Law. After completing his law studies with Sutton Coldfield College, he furthered his legal education and went on to complete his Graduate Diploma in Law/CPE (Law Society of England and Wales Common Professional Examinations) with Hertfordshire University School of Law. He also earned a Bachelor of Arts with Honors (B.A. Hons) from Staffordshire University. He has been a visiting lecturer at the University of Toledo, Ohio, and has served as a law tutor with ICLS and the National Association of Licensed Paralegals, England. He has also served as a judicial intern to a United States District Court Federal Judge and is also admitted as a Fellow and Legal Executive lawyer in the United Kingdom. Mr. Boora is also on Washington Institute's International Advisory Board, where he advises on international regulations and policy
I have searched ILEX's database and cannot find Mr. Boora's name
I don't know. Was it a lay person? I heard, as the story went, that it was the pastor of a church there in Australia
A local pastor would be considered a "layperson" to those within the medical field in a manner similar to the laity/clergy relationships within the church.
In any event, I am expressing skepticism that the local pastor - however well meaning and well intentioned his input might have been - had no real impact on the prescribed medical treatments.
Someone earlier had questioned the Aussie docs for not going forth with "cutting the patient open" when the pastor had said, "No! Let's pray instead..." My response was intended to assure the other poster that the Aussie doctors were in all likelihood not swayed away from taking whatever prudent action they thought was necessary. LS's high praise of all the medical folks involved seems to offer something of an overriding indicator here, at least IMHO.

That poster's concern wasn't only in the accuracy of the narrative, but also (and mostly) that some people reading it might follow its example.

When you said Lay person I thought you were talking ecclesiastics
BTW are the people that are conveying this story here going off transcripts of LS's words?

Apostolic is defined on AFF as:
There is One God. This one God reveals Himself distinctly as Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
The Son is God himself in a human form or "God manifested in the flesh" (1Tim 3:16)
Every sinner must repent of their sins.
That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.
