I recently attended a truly inspiring meeting that focused on the theme of the Lord’s Prayer. It got me thinking about the radical healing power of all sincere prayer, and took me back to an experience I had years ago when I was a student at the University of Illinois.
I regularly attended the midweek Christian Science testimony meetings at the University’s CSO (Christian Science Organization), held in a beautiful new building of concrete and glass, surrounded by rock gardens, situated on the edge of a large block of dormitories across from the University’s Armory building.
It was a time of great unrest, as students across the United States and around the world staged antiwar protests and demonstrations against the Vietnam conflict. It was around the time of one midweek Christian Science testimony meeting that several students at Kent State had been killed and wounded when National Guardsmen opened fire during campus demonstrations.
