Information Request

[Alyeska]

Some time ago while going through the JREF site I remember reading a piece talking about an indepth study on prayer and how it proved prayer did absolutely nothing to help people heal or be more prosperous.

I do not recall if this was a JREF weekly article or if it was in these forums. If anyone here can recall this information and provide me a link, I would be grateful.

[no one in particular]

Greetings, Alyeska, and welcome. That is a very nice sounding (yes, I said it out loud) username/city.

Not surprisingly, there have been many threads on the subject of prayer on the JREF Forums. Perhaps one of the following is the one to which you are referring:

Many thanks. That BBC article is exactly what I was looking for and it seems I spotted it when I was lurking these forums.

FYI, Alyeska is a cool name. Its also my old ski mountain up in Alaska. Tis where I got the name.:)
