Christian Scientists often refer to Mary Baker Eddy as their Leader. An inquirer might wonder just what this means. There's value in considering the why, what, and how of her leadership.
A good place to start is with the fact that the Church Mrs. Eddy founded derives its character from the Science she discovered.
What she discovered, through the unfolding revelation of Truth, was the eternal Science of God and man, including the metaphysical rules and method by which its truths can be demonstrated.
