RNS BIRDFLU PRAYER

(RNS1-JAN12) This Nov. 14 issue of the Christian Science Sentinel, a weekly periodical of the
Church of Christ, Scientist, focused on fighting contagion with prayer. Christian Scientists believe
in spiritual, rather than medical, healing. They believe in the power of prayer to both prevent a bird
flu pandemic and heal those who are sick should an outbreak occur. See RNS-BIRDFLU-
