Are they dealing<br>with a religious God and if so, which religion? What<br>does this Higher Power look like? They ask. The<br>point lies in the word \u2018Power\u2019. There is a power that<br>helps us, a power in the meeting rooms that you can<br>sometimes feel. Trying to put a label on this power<br>is missing the point. It is enough for us that the<br>power is there, and it works through other people.<br>Empirical knowledge of a Higher Power is not<br>possible, so let us just accept that it exists, if only<br>because something must make the planets go round<br>the sun. Why do we need a label? How important is<br>it?
