When my friend asked me about my religion

From the January 2020 issue of The Christian Science Journal

Originally appeared online in the teen series: Why I'm a Christian Scientist - August 20, 2019


One day I was hanging out with a friend from work, and we were having a great time talking about our lives. I felt the conversation was going super well—that I was really connecting with her emotionally and we were coming to a better understanding of each other’s life experiences. At one point, though, religion came up, and she asked me what my religion was. 

I was a little nervous about answering her question, because people tend to have a lot of prejudgment about religion in general. Plus, Christian Science is a religion that most people don’t know much about.

“I’m a Christian Scientist,” I said.
