Suppose for a moment that we weren't talking about prayer, but were instead talking about some drug. With these findings, this would be the next Prozac, because the findings are pretty robust. There's something going on. At this conference, we're trying to get the best minds together from the different disciplines and trying to move this research as far forward as we can. We're trying to figure out what aspects of spirituality and religious tradition can potentially be used to help people, regardless of their religious background or interest.
