In the United States, several symposiums on the relationship of prayer and healing have heightened people's curiosity about Christian Science. Senior officials of the Church of Christ, Scientist, have given many talks on the subject, and Christian Science practitioners and lecturers have received numerous invitations from colleges and universities to explain the Church's mission to "reinstate primitive Christianity and its lost element of healing." Mary Baker Eddy, Manual of The Mother Church, p. 17
Practitioners Margaret Rogers and Dorothy Estes have addressed several college classes in Boston, and they shared some of their experiences with our Features Editor, Kim Shippey.
One of the invitations came from a professor conducting an honors course for high-school teachers on "The History of Western Medicine" at Boston College. The teachers came to the Christian Science Center, and sat around in the vestry of The Mother Church.
