Letters & Conversations

Letters to the Journal from our readers. Opinions expressed in this column are not necessarily those of The Christian Science Journal.

Letters

'One pure white tile' I’m writing to thank the Journal for publishing James Spencer’s article called “ The Christian Science Nurse ” in the August issue. I especially liked the example of the “one pure white tile.

Letters

Make a joyful noise The September Journal is full of wonderful articles and updates for which I am grateful. Rosalie Dunbar’s article on the upcoming new Christian Science Hymnal Supplement is very exciting.

Letters

Worldwide outreach Fighting back tears of joy after reading Nathan Smith’s article, “ The Christian Science Board of Directors Goes to Africa ” in the August issue, I must express my immense respect for the members of the Board and their outreach to members of The Mother Church worldwide.   I am sure Christian Scientists in Africa gained as much, or more, from the visit as did those in Australia when the Board visited this country several years ago.

Letters

A cup of cold water Thank you and the contributors to “Insights” and to all the Journal! As I was filling the hummingbird feeder, an angel message lifted thought higher than the motive to attract hummers to our home and to aid them in their journey, to the phrase about giving a cup of cold water in His name. A cup of cold water in their journey cared for by God, and a trust that God will attract all good to our home.

Letters

Problems and knots Thank you for Margaret Rogers’s editorial “ Except God ” in the July 2012  Journal. Rogers makes the point that with divine power, difficult world problems can be untied by starting and continuing with prayer.

Letters

Packed with inspiration To say a simple “thank you” for the incredible May Journal seems woefully inadequate. The whole issue is jam-packed with inspiration.

Letters

Article brings healing Thank you for the wonderful series on the Church Manual By-Laws. The March issue focusing on prayer in church brought healing to me one Sunday morning.

Letters

Much to be grateful for I want to thank you for the many wonderful articles in the February Journal. The article by Brian Kissock beautifully explains the many opportunities at hand for those willing to share Christian Science with those in prison.

Letters

'They keep doing it' As is usually the case I have read and reread the whole of next month’s  Journal  before its date of issue. In this case it’s the January 2012 issue.

Letters

Profound simplicity I love the December issue! The cover is exquisite—so profound in its simplicity. This issue contains a wealth of “gifts,” some of which I have already discovered.
