After a trip to Mexico [in 1984]… I fell ill… The illness was protracted… I suffered a mild depression… When [an episcopal priest] prayed for my recovery, I choked up and wept. The only prayer I knew word for word was the Pater Noster. On that day and in the days after it, I found myself repeating the Lord’s Prayer, again and again, and meaning every word of it. Quite suddenly, when I was awake one night, a light dawned on me, and I realized what had happened… After many years of affirming God’s existence and trying to give adequate reasons for that affirmation, I found myself believing in God.
