The Journal is pleased to offer readers the third in an occasional column from the Office of Christian Science Practitioner Activities at The Mother Church in Boston. “Pathways to the practice” is autobiographical. While the contributors, presented here as two anonymous authors, are now experienced Christian Science practitioners, they were not yet listed in the directories of the Journal or The Herald of Christian Science when they humbly accepted their first requests for Christian Science treatment—and got right to work! Below, in their own words, these 21st-century healers trace the heart’s and mind’s response to Christ Jesus’ unambiguous call: “Heal the sick.” It is our hope that readers will be encouraged, step by step, to renew their own commitment to scientific Christian healing in the 21st century, and to share this priceless gift of God’s grace with all humanity.
One of my grandmothers was a Christian Scientist. Though the rest of my family were not, I began attending a Christian Science Sunday School when I was six years old. There I was introduced to the Bible, including the life and healing works of Christ Jesus.
