Letters & Conversations

Andrea Jenks McCormick, “ We’re not healing matter ,” Journal, January 2024 What a wonderful article. I had symptoms of a cold and had just slipped on a concrete floor and fallen flat on my back.

Douglas Paul, “ Does your church seem small ?” Journal, December 2023 I’m very grateful for this timely insight into the infinite nature of Church, how we can live it and demonstrate it in spite of matter-based claims to the contrary. This article echoes what we have experienced as a “small” Christian Science society in healing limited concepts in our activities.

Mimi Oka, “ Praying for a family member’s safety ,” Journal, November 2023 I love the answer God gave Mimi, in the form of “A Rule for Motives and Acts” in the Church Manual, as she was praying about how to address evil more deeply. Her subsequent realization helped me and will help so many people.

Keb Bemis, “ Rising above misinformation ,” Journal, September 2023 Thank you for a wonderfully written article and the spiritual truths shared. Misinformation can appear in a family, work, or volunteer setting.

Moji George, “ Welcome ,” Journal, September 2023 Thank you for this opening to the September Journal. It was so great to see the phrase “catch the vision.

Deborah Huebsch, “ Practicing Christian Science in a medicalized culture ,” Journal, August 2023 This is a powerful and clearly stated support for healing work in Christian Science. It so well explains the need to examine influences on thought and to realign thought to what God knows.

Leide Lessa, “ Four pillars that strengthen your church ,” Journal, July 2023 Thank you for a refreshing reminder of the function of Church. It’s not just about routine attendance, but about participation to spread Truth, no matter where we are or what we are doing.

Deep appreciation [Bobby Lewis, “ Lessons from Bartimaeus on healing long-standing problems ,” Journal, June 2023] I’m writing to express deep appreciation for this article. I love to read Bible stories slowly and deeply ponder each step that someone like Bartimaeus took.

Inspired healing practice [Perry Fisher, “ Qualities that evoke healing , Journal, April 2023] I just loved this article regarding the qualities that evoke healing. The writer has a very clear thought on what is needed to heal.

Particular appreciation Once again, another Christian Science Journal packed with inspiration, insights, and healings! I am always so grateful (even when my message doesn’t make it all the way back to Boston). Thanks to you all for your good work!  But this time I’d like to share my particular appreciation for the article “What’s in the name ‘ Christian Science nurse ’?” from the April 2023 issue.
