Excerpt from the Monroe Evening Times (Wisconsin) August 18, 1990 by (referred to in the above article)
"Christian Science has more in common with other Christian religions than it has differences.
"Yet the spiritual healing aspect which grows from the Christian core is frequently singled out by non-members as an identifying factor....
"'Healing the body is not the major purpose of Christianity,' Wellington said [Chuck Wellington, First Reader in 1990 at First Church of Christ, Scientist, Monroe], but the destruction of physical and mental disease was an important step in proving His (Jesus Christ) teachings about the relationship between God and man.
"'Healing supplied the necessary evidence to validate the higher goal of Christianity to overcome sin and aid in the spiritual regeneration of mankind,' Wellington said."
