Every once in a while, a church worker will relay to me fears that serving as a Reader, a board member, or in some other visible capacity in church puts them in a dangerous position. They believe they become targets of malice toward Christian Science and can suffer from it.
The old adage “There is nothing to fear but fear itself” applies here! There is no safer place to be than in church work. Church work is all about serving God, engaging in activities of divine Love, standing on divine Principle, preaching the gospel, and loving your neighbor unselfishly.
Christ Jesus told his followers to get out into the world and to share what had been freely given them. To disobey Christ—not to obey this divine command—is to put oneself into a dangerous position.
