I have just published an article on spirituality and health. I beliieve
it will be of interest. It also addresses most if not all of the
questions in the questionnaire. If you do read it, I would appreciate
hearing from you about your views.

The article is: Russell J. Sawa. Spirituality and health: reflections
upon clinical experience and the development of theory about whole
person health care from a Lonergan perspective. Reflective Practice,
Vol. 5, No.3, October 2004.

Best wishes,

Russ Sawa
