QUESTION: I'm having a problem with a co-worker, and a friend who is Christian Scientist told me that I could heal the situation by changing the way I think about the person. Does that mean the problem is my fault?
A1 There was a time during my service in the army when I had continual conflict with one of my fellow workers. One day our tempers flared, we exchanged harsh words with one another, and we almost came to blows. Fortunately, cooler heads prevailed, and we were separated from each other. But I went home in terrific distress. I was angry and frustrated, and I felt guilty.
I knew that the only solution was prayer. Years of experience with Christian Science had taught me that prayer changes thought and that when thought changes, so does the situation.
