Letters & Conversations

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.

Alerted to this article [Mark Hendrickson, “ Healing lessons from the three temptations ,” Journal, March 2023 ] I am grateful that a friend alerted me to this article. The ideas shared can immediately be put into practice by the reader.

Wonderful ideas [Susan Booth Mack Snipes, “ Safe in God’s allness ,” Journal, February 2023 ] Thank you for publishing this article. It is filled with such wonderful ideas.

Right on target Once again, right on target. Oh, how many times this happens when I open the Journal! This time it was Sabrina Stillwell’s article “ Supporting family unity at Christmas ” ( December 2022 ).

Inspiration to me [Gloria Preston, “ Watching for the right symptoms ,” Journal, December 2022] This article is an inspiration. I have been feeling unloving and trying so hard to change these negative feelings.

Brilliant piece Thank you for the brilliant piece “ Christian Science nursing—a ministry, a calling ” by Vanessa Campbell and Tony Lobl in the November 2022 Journal. It brought much light and a clearer understanding of Christian Science nursing and its very important role in Christian Science healing.

Refreshing to read [Ariana Herlinger, “ Rebuilding our concept of church ,” Journal, September 2022] What an absolutely inspiring and on-point article! This subject is very near and dear to me, and it was so refreshing that it was discussed in such a straightforward manner. The story of Nehemiah and the wall has always inspired me to remember to be clear as to the purpose of my work.
