Today's newest venue for Christian Science lectures is the World Wide Web, where one event can reach around the world.
Just after September 11, 2001, spirituality. com began to sponsor live online events with speakers from the Board of Lectureship that explore the practical, healing ideas in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy. These events have introduced a whole new audience to Christian Science. Their question-and-answer format enables website visitors to interact directly with the lecturer by sending in their own questions.
The first event with Evan Mehlenbacher gave comfort and reassurance after the terrorist attacks in the United States on September 11. Several hundred people participated online. Since then, the site's event schedule has grown to several lectures per month. A transcript is generally available online within the week.
