BPL - the answer is not always obvious, nor what people expect. My brother has been agnostic most of his adult life - but when his stepson was diagnosed with cancer He and his wife joined a charasmatic Catholic church at the son's request. The priest was very big on faith healing. And though John died at the age of 13 - many people observed at his funeral that he, and many of his classmates - had indeed recieved healing. But it was a healing of the mind and spirit, not the body.

Now *I* do not submit that a god with a capital "G" gave him this healing. I know my sister in law *does* feel that - and that she has received the same from God. My brother however *did* expect a physical healing.
