Almost 20 years ago, Janet Clements began “modestly” in the Christian Science healing practice, setting aside several hours a day to pray for the world—for those who were homeless, for children who were abused, for people who were ill, and for those at war. “I embraced the world in Christly love, until I had a sense of peace,” Janet says. “That love is the heart of our life.” At that time, she shared an office with another Christian Science practitioner, and her practice began to grow.
Today, Janet has her own office for the full-time practice in Evanston, a nearby Chicago suburb. And she is a Christian Science teacher.
Before entering the practice, Janet had a career in advertising and journalism, working for a large advertising agency in Chicago. Later, she taught at a branch of the University of Maryland, then worked for a large conglomerate of magazines in Texas, where she had grown up and attended a Christian Science Sunday School.
