SCIENCE AND RELIGION

CHRISTOPHER HANAFIN,

CHRISTOPHER HANAFIN,

Sir, - Reading Dr William Reville's excellent column on science and religion (Science Today, June 13th) put me in mind of a little prayer by St John of the Cross which is hidden away in the best-selling Glenstal Book of Prayer. It goes: "Dear Lord, give me the truths which are veiled by the doctrines and articles of faith, which are masked by the pious words of sermons and books. Let my eyes penetrate the veil and tear off the mask, that I can see your truth face to face." - Yours, etc.,

CHRISTOPHER HANAFIN,
