[Margaret Pilkington]

I was going to make the point that thinking about someone, is akin to praying for them, but I reckoned that some folk may not agree that there is a similarity.

I do not belong to any religious organisation, but I do recognise that faith is a great support during times of trouble.
What I tell folk is, that I work like it is all up to me to sort things out, but pray for a little help and understanding from the 'greater being'......or God if you believe.

It seems to me that Christianity is just as demonised as some of the other lesser religions these days.......and that people almost apologise for holding Christian beliefs.
We have become so touchy (socially) that we cannot see that there is room for all colours of opinion without getting nasty....and institutions like the police force and the NHS are just about the worst. It is Ok to be muslim, jewish, jain or whatever...have your religion catered for, but show your Christian faith and somehow you become an evangelising bigot.

If I had been that nurse in question, I would have prayed for the woman and not even mentioned it...it would have worked just as well.
