Godwin Anakor is a Christian Science practitioner and teacher from Enugu, Nigeria. In a series of email exchanges we corresponded about his journey into Christian Science as well as some of the serious issues confronting Nigeria and West Africa that he has been praying about. I’m grateful to share with Journal readers highlights from my email exchanges with Godwin, which show how he and others continue to bring the light of Christian Science to this part of the world.
Godwin, you weren’t raised in Christian Science. Tell our readers about your spiritual journey, and what inspired you to become a Christian Science practitioner.
At the age of 16 I began a search for something I could not really define, but later it became clear to me that I was desiring a closer connection with God, a deeper understanding of my relationship to Him.
