Firm Foundation
for Health Care
by Judy Olvey, Assistant
Christian Science Committee on Publication
Reprinted from The Arizona Daily Star (Tucson, Arizona)
Letter to the Editor, May 13, 2002
Howard Fischer reported on
a recent activity in the Legislature ("Prayer care for kids
gets no new protection," April 19). This decision by the
Legislature is not representative of the movement toward alternative
methods of health care that have been embraced by our pluralistic
society.
The article focused on Christian Scientists, since they were
the ones speaking up for children to have access to the very
best health care available.
An amendment was offered using
the term "health care" in place of "medical care,"
so the law would not mandate only one method of treatment. My
children were the third generation in our family to have benefited
from prayer that heals. Having been healed as a child and throughout
my life, I feel it is natural to trust prayer to meet my needs.
I found security in the spiritual laws taught and practiced by
Jesus. This gave me a firm foundation to effectively care for
my children and has proved to me that it is the best health care
that can be had.
