Innocent Bystander: Thy Will Be Done - Brief Article
Skeptical Inquirer, Sept, 2001 by Jodi Chapman
Murphy, Cullen, "Innocent Bystander: Thy Will Be Done." The Atlantic Monthly, April 2001, pp. 18, 20. Herbert Benson, M.D., author of the 1975 book The Relaxation Response, "has mounted a new controversial scientific effort to determine ... whether intercessory prayer 'works."' Benson is the president of the Mind/Body Medical Institute and an associate professor at Harvard Medical School.
His studies are being met with skepticism by both the Council for Secular Humanism and the Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal, who question "whether a scientific evaluation of the efficacy of prayer is even theoretically feasible." The results of this study will be published in early 2002.
