CHURCH. The structure of Truth and Love; whatever rests upon and proceeds from divine Principle.
The Church is that institution, which affords proof of its utility and is found elevating the race, rousing the dormant understanding from material beliefs to the apprehension of spiritual ideas and the demonstration of divine Science, thereby casting out devils, or error, and healing the sick.
—Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy (p. 583).
From the May 1975 issue of The Christian Science Journal
When Christian Scientists travel by ship, they don't leave church behind.
On the contrary. It's common for Mother Church and branch church members on ocean cruises to hold Sunday church services—and sometimes Wednesday testimony meetings.
When a member requests permission from the ship's purser to conduct a service or meeting, often other Christian Scientists on board will appear to fill needed positions.
