A newborn girl, Evelyn Phillips, died in 2017 after her parents, members of the faith-healing sect Followers of Christ, refused to seek medical care. However, her twin brother, Marshall, was saved due to the intervention of the state and an ex-believer, who alerted authorities to the family's refusal to provide medical treatment. The case highlights the complexities and limitations of Oregon's efforts to compel parents to seek medical care for their children, particularly in cases involving faith-healing sects, and sheds light on the secretive Followers of Christ, which has a history of prioritizing spiritual healing over modern medicine.
