A message from the Board of Lectureship

From the August 2011 issue of The Christian Science Journal


As humanity gets increasingly drawn to the Web as the go-to source for information and connections, how important is it to listen to a speaker in person? 

The feedback we receive regarding live lectures clearly shows that the preparation for these events, the contacts that are made, and the resulting opportunity to experience the shared effect of collective prayer retains a unique and valued purpose. When people gather together in one room with a single focus—to listen to a message grounded in Love—something special is felt. Connections are made neighbor to neighbor—smiles, handshakes, hugs. All are welcomed. Lives are changed, and healing happens.

As the lecture is delivered, and the message of the Comforter received, that elevation of thought has a beneficial effect on the whole community. When the hem of Christ’s garment is touched, this has an immediate and far-reaching effect. Is there anything more important than that?
