Insulin for the treatment of diabetes; safe smallpox and polio vaccines; X-ray, CT, and MRI for accurate diagnosis; beta-blockers and vasodilators for heart and respiratory disease; penicillin and the whole range of antibiotic drugs to treat life-threatening infection; effective pain-killers and anaesthetics; dialysis machines to treat kidney failure; heart-lung machines to allow open-heart surgery and transplantation; anti-depressants and other drugs for psychiatric illness; genetic counselling and therapy; the list goes on and on 'miracles' of modern science a wonderful tribute to the curiosity and inventiveness of humankind. So wonderful indeed that, in the West at least, we seem to expect that there is a cure for every physical ailment. Yet the truth is that there are many diseases and conditions for which there is no cure, nor sometimes even effective palliative treatment. Some people still die too young or suffer pain. It is understandable and not surprising that when modern medical science fails, desperate people seek a 'cure' for their suffering elsewhere (but usually and quite sensibly only after they have exhausted conventional treatments!). They turn to a whole variety of 'holistic' and spiritual healing agencies, including of course the Christian Church, in search of a 'cure', paradoxically for physical ailments. What are we to make of this and how should Christians respond? It seems a paradox that, while modern science continues to reduce the incidence and effects of organic disease and disability, the demand for 'healing services' in churches of all denominations has increased (it seems unlikely that this is directly linked to the supposed dire state of the NHS!). Most people will have seen the dramatic 'performances' of so-called 'charismatic healers' on television, but at the other end of the spectrum there are quieter, more restrained, approaches to healing; these range from traditional prayers of intercession to an increasing number of special healing services in parish churches, as well as pilgrimages to centres of healing such as Lourdes.
