Welcome

Several years ago

From the May 2012 issue of The Christian Science Journal




Joy Cusack–staff

Several years ago while I was having lunch with a neighbor, she began to ask questions about Christian Science. In that crowded restaurant, I did what you might call “on-the-ground” praying so that I could speak in language that was accurate, accessible, and clear. I felt I’d done a pretty decent job—so imagine my surprise when a few days later the same friend called to say that since she now knew “more about Christian Science,” she thought I would love to go with her to see a famous hypnotist perform that weekend. How she made that dubious spiritual leap I’ll never know—but we’ve all been there. Where we think we’re moving forward in our communication about this Science we love—only to have it interpreted as some sort of alternative health-care system or mystical practice.
