The Mother Church! Christian Scientists love to visit the noble structure in Boston. I remember, particularly in my early days as a student of Christian Science, how I would approach the building with a great feeling of awe and excitement, anticipating the flow of inspiration that I expected to flood my consciousness during the service. And I would not be disappointed.
I still approach The First Church of Christ, Scientist, with eager anticipation, for the services are always maintained at a high level of excellence. However, I have come to see that The Mother Church is not confined to the church building and administrative headquarters in Boston. It is right where I am all the time. Because I can keep in thought the spiritual idea of Church, the inspiration of The Mother Church is present with me to guide and protect me continuously.
Part of Mrs. Eddy's definition of "Church" reads, "The structure of Truth and Love; whatever rests upon and proceeds from divine Principle." Science and Health, p. 583;
