...months before GAFcon, says Naughton, a leading Southeast Asian theologian criticized some of the planning of the conference. That elicited a scathing reply from one of Akinola's U.S. bishops. When that became public, conservative unity seemed suspect.

"The results are interesting, and worth paying attention to," says Dr. Marilyn Albert, a neurologist at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. Light, the study's authors suspect, works on the body's circadian clock, which is regulated by a cluster of cells in the brain's hypothalamus. Those cells release agents that, along with the hormone melatonin, help to regulate the body's sleep-wake cycle and are responsible for alerting the brain when the cycle is broken...
