Sixteen-year-old
of Wolverhampton, England, has been on—to use the now-popular catch-phrase—quite a spiritual journey. Six years ago, she knew nothing about Christian Science. Today, as an individual who lives in a Sikh household but attends a Christian Science Sunday School, she stands with one foot in each world. And that's forced her to wrestle with lots of questions, including the relevance of what she's learning—and why she started down this path to begin with. Nakita spoke recently with the Journal's .Sticking with Christian Science, once you'd learned about it, was a conscious choice on your part, a radical departure from what you knew. And yet, you made the shift. Why?
It made sense to me. My family is Sikh, and I came to Sunday School with no Bible background, no real concept of God. I guess you might think, then, that I would find what I was hearing strange. But I didn't. It was the way Christian Science got me looking beneath the surface of things, I think, that I connected with.
