TODAY MANY PEOPLE are hungering for deeper meaning in their lives—for lasting and practical spiritual answers. The evidence of this newfound hunger for spirituality is being written about, talked about, and explored in newspapers and magazines, on television and in movies, in college classrooms and halls of government. This spiritual awakening is inevitable —it's the progressive effect of the healing ideas in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, leavening and transforming human thought for 125 consecutive years.
Now, at the dawn of the 21st century, there's an inspiring opportunity available to respond to this spiritual awakening through the new medium of the World Wide Web. The Web is fast becoming the leading communication venue for the exchange and dissemination of ideas. It reaches all around the world, crossing economic, political, racial, and gender boundaries. And because of its very openness, it fosters freedom of thought and communication.
There are already many spiritual seekers who use the Web on a regular basis, often daily, and so it's natural that the healing message of comfort and hope that Mary Baker Eddy devoted her life to sharing with others be available in this medium. As announced at the Annual Meeting of The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in June, a new Web site, launched in autumn 2000, now makes the ideas in Science and Health accessible to users of the Web.
