INSIDE: LOOKING INTO THIS ISSUE

The Editors

Many publications and news organizations have been giving careful attention this past year to the growing health-care in Western society. Last month, for example, World Monitor magazine featured a major cover story titled "A Cure for Health Costs," which highlighted an $800 billion annual price tag in the United States alone. In the article, a leading expert in the field summarized the current financial and technological challenges affecting the delivery of medical therapies and offered a number of solutions from his perspective.

Sentinel readers are also naturally concerned about the health-care crisis. And while not ignoring the many complex, technical issues involved for our society, the approach for Christian Scientists is essentially centered on discovering spiritual solutions for the health needs of individuals and families. And these are solutions that can actually redeem and transform a person's whole life as well as restore the body.

This week the Sentinel includes articles and editorials that point to the immediate practicality and power of prayer to heal. Of special interest is an interview with Dr. Rex Gardner, a physician who has investigated contemporary evidence for Christian healing.
