THREATS OF TERROR: KEEPING THE PRAYER VIGIL

The Editors

There's great power in a collective response to uncovering evil and destroying it through focused prayer.

"WHEN ERROR CONFRONTS YOU, withhold not the rebuke or the explanation which destroys error," wrote Mary Baker Eddy (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p. 452). The error referred to here is a general term for whatever evil may threaten the health and well-being of humanity. Today this "rebuke" and "explanation" are of paramount concern worldwide when it comes to terror. We may wish we didn't have to mount a vigilant defense against the threats of harm confronting us, but circumstances say otherwise.
