Back and Forth

a dialogue with readers

with contributions from The Editors, James Early

Sometimes it's easy to think of praying for the world as trying to fix up something "over there." But prayer for "the healing of the nations" has effects at home as well as abroad. When we pray for peace, for justice, and for greater brotherhood in other lands, we shouldn't be surprised if we are stirred to bring our prayers into our own lives. And as the following letter from a reader indicates, prayer makes us ready and able to help wherever we are.

The Editors

I am impelled to write you after reading the "Profile" article in the January 5 Sentinel about your dealings with the situation in South Africa, in particular how you put Christian Science into practice in your business dealings.
