<DIV>For those of you who believed that disease was caused organically, Drs.
Grauke, Rice, and Brown would like to revisit and re-instruct you on that
issue. (I added the bolding).</DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><EM></EM></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV>"We recognize that medical care involves more than treating illness and
that man is made in the image of God, having aspects including body, emotions,
spirit, and soul. We endeavor to use the highest standards of scientific
medicine, treating our patients as we ourselves want to be
treated.<BR><BR><STRONG>We do not believe that sickness and death are natural
processes, but are rather an enemy of God introduced into the world through the
sin of mankind in Adam. Because of the redemption purchased by Christ, we seek
to extend his kingdom through the ministry of
healing.<BR></STRONG><BR><STRONG>We believe all illness has meaning under the
providence of God and seek healing of the whole person through a right
relationship with Christ</STRONG>.<BR><BR>Because of the sanctity of God's law,
we affirm the dignity of human life. We oppose abortion and euthanasia, and all
other attempts to usurp the prerogatives of God.<BR><BR>We affirm the
responsibility toward the poor and needy. We endeavor to give our time and
resources in serving the poor and medically underserved peoples in our community
and around the world. At the same time, we oppose the idea of medical care as a
basic human right."<BR><A

<DIV>Frankly, words fail me. I'm wondering if the use of antibiotics or
anti-viral agents usurp the prerogatives of God? If nothing else
about Christ Church chills the blood of Moscow residents this mission statement
should. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I need hardly add that Dr. John Grauke is a Christ Church member, sits
on the NSA board and has been a regular contributor to Credenda Agenda over the
years. Dr. Rice (and presumably his family) also attend Christ
Church.</DIV>
