Perhaps the most noted feature of Christian Science is its reinstatement of the practice of Christian healing. This healing is more than a mere by-product of the teachings of Christian Science. It is the evidence or proof, through specific, scientific treatment, that Christian Science is a true explication of Christ Jesus' teachings.
Isn't treatment just what a Christian Scientist calls prayer?
Not exactly. While treatment is a particular form of prayer, it should be noted that not all prayer is treatment. Prayer, in its broadest sense, is one's conscious communion with God, a recognition of His goodness, presence, and power; and it is an active effort to live in accord with this godliness. This we should do without ceasing.
