An article this week in the Danish newspaper\u00a0Kristeligt Dagblad<\/a>\u00a0includes an interview with Scientology spokesperson Anette Refstrupe on prayer in Scientology.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn Scientology, we are not so much\u00a0<\/em>involved in prayer in the traditional sense of the word, but we are concerned with increasing our understand of ourselves and others around us. This includes raising one\u2019s awareness of Mankind, all living things, all spiritually and ultimately an understanding of the Creator of the Universe. So to me, this expansion of understanding is a form of prayer, as it is my way to become a better person and achieve brotherhood with the Divine. >><\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
