CONTRIBUTORS

From the April 2006 issue of The Christian Science Journal


The biggest surprise for Russ Gerber during this month's interview with Brian Talcott (p. 16) was how much the two men have in common. Children of the 1960s who grew up in Southern California, Russ and Brian both studied architecture and served in the military. In fact, even the same Bible passage impelled each one to leave his previous career and enter the full-time practice of Christian Science: "Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount" (Deut. 1:6). A teacher of Christian Science, Russ also serves as Managing Editor of Sentinel Radio.

Christian Science practitioner Ginny Luedeman of Salem, Oregon, couldn't have been more prepared to respond if she'd been prepped for our call. Days from deadline, we were one Easter article short. So we phoned and asked, "Do you have anything to say about hope?" "Well," Ginny replied, "there was the time when the doctors had given up on my husband. Hope saved me then. Would that work, or would that be too dramatic?" For a section on resurrection? We just smiled. Read more on page 30.

I'll do it! Sound familiar? It does to Christian Science practitioner Steven Salt, who says that at one point, his hectic schedule left him feeling out of sync, both spiritually and physically. As he notes in "The rhythm of Spirit" (p. 34), sometimes it was busyness he was about, rather than his Father's business. All that changed after he focused on being divinely active, rather than humanly busy. "I continue to work each day," says Steve, "to ensure that every step I take moves to the tempo of Spirit."
