Our membership in The Mother Church is determined by the gentle urging of the Christ within us. Christ shows us the relationship of God to man and unfolds our actual oneness with the true God revealed in the Scriptures and in our textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mrs. Eddy. Christian Science defines God in a way that many people can recognize and respect: as divine Mind, the one Father-Mother that Christ Jesus knew and demonstrated. And we learn to know Him as Spirit, Life, and Love. These are synonymous terms for the one God.
The spiritual qualities, coming from God to individual human consciousness, not only relate us to God and to one another; they also inspire us to serve the one movement that articulates the Christ-idea scientifically to the receptive thought.
From the very first contact I had with Christian Science, my question was, How could I share this marvelous teaching with other people? How could I explain to others what it meant to me?
