Nurturing the world

From the March 2004 issue of The Christian Science Journal


IN A WORLD that is struggling against terrorism, poverty, sickness, instability, and a host of other problems, the importance of women's rights is not always obvious to some. "Isn't this something that could wait until later?" is a question, and one that is easy to understand. Actually, there isn't a "later." The problems afflicting the world are demanding attention now, and the nurturing qualities of womanhood—tenderness, collaboration, patience, and fortitude, to mention a few—are sorely needed.

The world needs the nurturing qualities of womanhood.

Humanity's needs haven't changed much since Mary Baker Eddy became a major religious figure on the American, and later the world, landscape in the 19th century. And her discovery of Christian Science was, and continues to be, a direct response to a spiritual demand for solutions to these problems.
