Christian Science Church seeks truce with modern medicine

Third-party (culteducation.com) full-text mirror of a New York Times News Service article credited 'By Paul Vitello,' captured in-page as 'Christian Science Church seeks truce with modern medicine' / 'New York Times News Service/March 2010' (HTTP 200, 23,658 bytes). The nytimes.com original was not independently fetched, so an exact publication day and byte-for-byte identity with the original are not asserted here; the mirror's own metadata states only 'March 2010.' Reports: (1) 'the main opposition to Christian Science and other prayer treatments has come from the medical establishment, most forcefully the American Academy of Pediatrics'; (2) reports on the AAP's October 2009 letter to Senate leaders in a single sentence that embeds the journalist's own attribution mid-sentence: 'Given the complete lack of scientific evidence of the efficacy of prayer in treating any illness or disorder in children,' academy officials wrote Senate leaders in October, 'mandating coverage for these services runs counter to the principles of evidence-based medicine.' This is Vitello's own sentence reporting on and quoting fragments of the AAP's letter, not one uninterrupted verbatim AAP quotation. Dated March 2010.
