STARTING OUT IN THE PRACTICE OF CHRISTIAN SCIENCE HEALING

From the July 1991 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Recently, we spoke with several men and women who are in the full-time public healing practice of Christian Science. We asked about their early years in this ministry, and about how they had come to devote their lives to helping others through prayer.

Their backgrounds are diverse. Some are lifelong Christian Scientists. Others were relatively new to the study of Science when they began to help others through what they were learning. Interviewees include a former salesman, Navy chaplain, medical nurse, banker, young mother of four young children who also cared for others' toddlers—they defy stereotyping or categorization!

Except, perhaps, that they all speak, in one way or another, of yearning to help others. This unselfed yearning gradually supplanted other ambitions or careers until it became the very center of their lives.
