CONSCIOUS ONENESS

A CONVERSATION WITH DEBORAH HUEBSCH

From the September 2005 issue of The Christian Science Journal


A young college student flunking out of classes, on drugs, in the middle of a marriage falling apart, contemplating suicide. Doesn't sound like a bright future ahead. But Deborah Huebsch, that young student of many years ago, found Christian Science in the middle of this downward slide. Deciding to take time off from school, she dropped out of the University of California, Berkeley, and studied Science and Health for the next year. At the end of that year, she went back and graduated. She then headed to the University of Oregon, where she earned a master's degree in interdisciplinary studies with emphasis in philosophy, theater, and dance.

While teaching dance at the University of Oregon, Deborah felt moved to serve the Church that had showed her so much love and support. She relocated to Boston and worked for The Mother Church for ten years. She began advertising as a Christian Science practitioner in the Journal several years after leaving Oregon, and became a teacher of Christian Science in 1982. She also lectured on Christian Science around the United States for seven years.

Today you'll find Deborah busy with her healing practice and enjoying life in San Juan Capistrano, California. She and her husband, Herb, who is also a Christian Science practitioner, live in a ranch-style house nestled on an acre of land (with two horses in a corral), bordered on one side by a deep ravine and on the other side by a stand of eucalyptus trees. "I even have a sliver of a view of the ocean from my kitchen window," she says.
