A QUIET, MIGHTY BAND OF HEALERS

From the May 2008 issue of The Christian Science Journal


November 2008 marks the centennial year of the establishment of Christian Science nursing as part of the Church's healing activities. The Manual of The Mother Church by Mary Baker Eddy states: "Christian Science Nurse. SECT. 31. A member of The Mother Church who represents himself or herself as a Christian Science nurse shall be one who has a demonstrable knowledge of Christian Science practice, who thoroughly understands the practical wisdom necessary in a sick room, and who can take proper care of the sick.

"The cards of such persons may be inserted in The Christian Science Journal under rules established by the publishers" (p. 49).

Eva currently is a senior manager for The Christian Science Publishing Society, where she oversees worldwide Journal advertising for churches, societies, practitioners, teachers, and nurses.
