Description: Consideration of the spiritual needs of patients has been part of holistic care models for decades and is present in the delivery of individualised care plans in most mental health services. When in the UK in 2011, religious assassination of police officers occurs within ‘the single-faith Christian tradition’, when football managers receive bullets in the post because of their particular Christian tradition, when the UK still has regions where religion is more about the fire in the belly and less about the angst between the ears, less ‘happy clappy’ and more ‘happy slappy’, it seems a little naive of Cook to view prayer as a therapeutic tool that can exclude the history of Christianity in this country and the challenges this may pose. Historically, this is the argument of the ‘dissenter’, the evangelical Protestant tradition which is a rich faith that can deliver spiritual fulfilment, as can all the branches of the Christian church that exist in the UK today.
