Lesson 2. Religion and Medicine
There was a time when physicians and priests were one and the same. However, over the years, it appears that religion and medicine have gone their sperate ways which is very unfortunate.
This is despite the fact that 80 percent of people pray for themselves and 87 percent have prayed for others, according to Gallup survey of 1,714 Americans. What is even more amazing is that 76% of doctors stated that they believe in God, compared with only 39% of scientists, and about 70% of Americans overall according to a University of Chicago study.
Our aim is to bring these two healing traditions together and the following videos below are a good start.
