Exploring in depth what Christian Science is and how it heals.

Following the Christ

When I moved into my first apartment, on my list of things to buy for my room was artwork. So I went to a store, picked out a couple of pieces I thought were nice-looking, and hung them on the wall.

Is there a recipe for spiritual healing?

Before you make a batch of coconut swirls or prepare a crème fraîche, you locate what you hope is a foolproof recipe in a cookbook or online, or on a TV cooking show. Then you gather together the ingredients and measure out the quantities needed.

The spirit of Love at church

There is a statement in the Christian Science textbook that has helped me get my priorities straight and brought healing time and time again. It says, “The vital part, the heart and soul of Christian Science, is Love” (Mary Baker Eddy, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p.

The fruits of Christly prayer

As students of the Bible and Mary Baker Eddy’s writings, many of us have found that ideas we feel we don’t fully grasp—as well as those we may think we already do!—can continually yield new, fresh insights as we pray for inspiration.

I’d never been fond of the idea of outer space. I’d never liked imagining what it would be like to exist in a vacuum, without gravity, and with no sense of place or orientation.

In the fall of 2015 , Sixth Church of Christ, Scientist, Washington, DC, hosted an inspirational meeting in order to better understand the connection between The Christian Science Monitor and healing. At this event, we watched an insightful video produced by The Mother Church, “A conversation about The Christian Science Monitor with our church family,” and then discussed the questions asked in the video.

Yield to the divine intelligence

When the Apostle Paul referred, in his letter to the Romans, to “the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God” ( 11:33 ), he was speaking from the authority of his own life experience, in which he had felt God’s mighty power redeeming him in a way beyond what the human mind could understand. He recognized his relationship to the one all-wise, all-knowing God, and this radically changed his life for the better.
