<title>Study questions the power of prayer, but not belief</title>

<description><![CDATA[ (Oct 12, 2006) In Brian Mann’s report yesterday on faith healing in a Saranac Lake Episcopal Church, he noted a recent report in The American Heart Journal that showed that intercessory prayer had no impact on the health of patients undergoing heart surgery. It was a widely awaited study that was supposed to be more scientifically rigorous than previous studies. But one of its co-authors says the implications of the report have been exaggerated. Father Dean Marek is director of chaplain services at Mayo Clinic in Minnesota. He told Gregory Warner the study dealt specifically with the power of intercessory prayer by strangers.

<description><![CDATA[ (Oct 11, 2006) Every week in churches across the North Country, people gather to pray for miracles. The idea that faith can heal broken bodies and cure disease isn&apos;t just found in evangelical congregations. More main-line Protestants — and even some physicians — are experimenting with prayer as a form of therapy. Brian Mann attended a healing session at an Episcopal Church in Saranac Lake.
