Excerpts from a news article of interest that we came across recently from November 2006:
The full text of the news article, which shares much about Brother Joseph’s ministry, is entitled “Medical doctor blessed by visit from International Interfaith Ministries’ clergy.” and may be found at http://goodfaithchapel-thoughtsfrom.blogspot.com/2006/11/medical-doctor-blessed-by-visit-from.html. Our prayers go out to all in the medical profession who, whatever their background may be, who place compassion to those in their care as their first priority. Brother Joseph, who serves on the board of Sussex Medical Center in Sussex County, Delaware, is an ardent advocate of the joint efforts of those in the ministry and those in the medical profession, joining the resource of prayer and of the healing arts, to bring healing to the suffering. By way of personal reflection, my natural father served as chief of staff at the Medical Center in Cranston, RI, and was honored for his work by then-Rhode Island Governor Noel in 1974. Most of my parents’ friends were colleagues in the medical profession. May God’s guiding hand be upon all those in the medical profession in our land, who in their commitment to those in their care, sometimes must contend with powers that be that treat the well being of the sick as a lesser priority.
- Brother Thomas

“The Reverend above most people, has a reason to support the power of prayer for the sick and needy. There is no one who would be more sensitive to the importance of a hospital’s and doctor’s and clergy’s teamwork in ministering to the suffering needs of the disabled, traumatized, and victimized. He miraculously recovered from Walking Pneumonia while in college, his first near death experience, at the hospital at Oyster Bay on Long Island. He felt his body leave hold of his soul and spirit, when he came back and reclaimed his body while people prayed and the nurses feverishly resuscitated him with the help of respiration equipment.”
“ Our senior pastor, while doing graduate work at Princeton University and Princeton Seminary, in conjunction with the University chief of staff at the Princeton University Medical Hospital and renowned President of the American College Health Association, did research and reviewed the essence of faith and medical practice being jointly useful as a tool towards recovery and the assuaging of patients’ suffering.”
“ The world over, ordained spiritual leaders have the final entrance in ministering to the suffering and needy.
Reverend Stanley’s primary care physician from Seaford has told him from his experience of operating on thousands of heart patients in Washington, DC, how the chief of staff found from records that the recovery rate was greater for those who prayed and were prayed for.”Attachment: Bro Joseph and Dr. Sternberg.jpg (Downloaded 1 time)
