November 2008 marks the centennial year of the establishment of Christian Science nursing as part of the Church's healing activities. The Manual of The Mother Church by Mary Baker Eddy states: "Christian Science Nurse. SECT. 31. A member of The Mother Church who represents himself or herself as a Christian Science nurse shall be one who has a demonstrable knowledge of Christian Science practice, who thoroughly understands the practical wisdom necessary in a sick room, and who can take proper care of the sick.
