Visit any neighborhood in the Black community and you're bound to find a church on nearly every city block. When it comes to faith-based communities, African Americans are believed to be one of the most religious and spiritual especially those who practice Christianity, Islam, Catholicism, or Judaism. There are even some Buddhists, thanks in part to iconic celebrity, Tina Turner, who introduced Black folk to the religion in her autobiography, "What's Love Got to Do With It." But, when it comes ...

Prayer can heal, the Bible says. It's right there in James 5:15: and the prayer of faith will save the sick man. Lots of people believe in the power of prayer. Most also believe that doctors and medicine are necessary to keep themselves and their families healthy. That's why it's difficult for many people to understand parents such as Carl and Raylene Worthington of Oregon and Dale and Leilani Neumann of Wisconsin. Each couple lost a child in recent months because ...

Sunday night, Tom Cruise rewarded high-ranking members of the Church of Scientology with tickets to a private screening of his new movie, "Lions for Lambs." This is the provocative anti-war movie which he executive-produced for United Artists with partner Paula Wagner.

Indeed, his recent responses to Matt Lauer, inveighing against modern psychiatric care, reflect Scientology's claim that its own ...
