<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any book by Francis McNutt is excellent. Balanced
and theologically sound -at least I think so - and largely based on
personal experience of the power of Jesus. I particularly commend
`Healing`published in 1988. Another author worth reading is Martin
Israel.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>When I was in full-time parochial ministry in the
UK I had a healing eucharist every fourth Sunday in the evening. Everyone
received the laying on of hands with prayer and this was concluded with the
giving of the Blessed Sacrament. The healing ministry was an integral - and not
an added on - part of the liturgy. Wonderful things happened and there is no
doubt in my mind that Jesus was in the midst.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Here in Southern Ireland I have had
some experiences with troubled New Age folk who, perhaps unwittingly, had
encountered the unquiet dead in building and specific bits of land. Maybe this
came about because of their heightened spiritual/psychic awareness. I think that
many in Western Society have rationalised out anything to do with the unknown
and relating to the spirit/emotions. The manifestations were dealt with
undramatically by myself and another priest. </FONT></DIV>
