I have been meaning to write and tell you how grateful I am for the Sentinel. Each issue so effectively addresses current issues, and includes practical and inspiring ways in which people have experienced healing through prayer. It is easy to share the Sentinel with others.

I am especially grateful for the articles and news items the Sentinel publishes about other religions and forms of worship. They are not only informative, but show me how universal the Christ is. In the "Items of interest" column in the January 26 issue, I enjoyed reading "'Emerging churches' offer myriad forms of worship." The item states in part: "Defining a church as emerging can be difficult because such groups take so many forms.... Throughout its history, evangelical Christianity has shown it can change with the times, altering methods but not the message."

I am reminded of something Mary Baker Eddy said in her Miscellaneous Writings 1883-1896: "God is universal; confined to no spot, defined by no dogma, appropriated by no sect. Not more to one than to all, is God demonstrable as divine Life, Truth, and Love; and His people are they that reflect Him—that reflect Love" (p. 150).
