How should a Christian Scientist live?

From the February 1978 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Sometimes Christian Scientists wonder how they should live. What shape and texture should their life have? The query must be answered mainly in generalizations—the lives of people endeavoring to scientifically understand God and their real nature as God's expression are colored by openness and fairness in their dealings with others, civic-mindedness, impartiality, unselfishness, and the like. And above all, their lives will be pervaded by spirituality that heals.

In addition, the spiritually-minded Scientist will have a sense of the distinct individuality of each idea of God. Although his way of life will look in many respects very much like that of those around him, when his real identity as God's individual spiritual idea is uppermost in his thought, the way he lives will more concretely evidence this identity.

Being a Christian Scientist doesn't imply living a colorless life or a cocooned one. As the Scientist moves through the gallery of human experience he'll have a growing appreciation of—and enjoyment in—what is best and most useful.
