About 43 percent of American adults have prayed for their own health, and 25 percent have had others pray for them, according to a 2004 survey conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics. Terri Cisse, a graduate student at the Harvard Divinity School, questioned the validity of the study. “I’ve seen firsthand from working at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute how people are consoled by prayer. Prayer is so transcendent and metaphysical that it can’t be measured scientifically,” she said. “There...
