Along for the Journey, on God's Time...
Ms. Kairos rarely approaches me with sermon topics, but she said I should think about preaching someday on all of this.
The day after I watched the PBS broadcast of The New Medicine a study on the effects on prayer for others (or intercessory prayer) is out, showing, at least with this sample, little medical benefit:
Watching a wonderful PBS series “The New Medicine” on the scientific evidence behind the benefit of meditation (and prayer) on stress and therefore health and medicine.
Now, I think this series is a bit strong in calling this “new.” I remember reading and discussing studies about these things during my CPE rotation. But its good to see some of this gaining ground.
