The Journal is pleased to offer readers the first in an occasional column from the Christian Science Nursing Activities Department at The Mother Church in Boston. “Pathways to Christian Science Nursing” is autobiographical. The contributors, presented in this column as anonymous authors, are experienced Journal-listed Christian Science nurses committed to the compassionate and practical care of the sick. It is our hope that readers will be encouraged by their commitment to scientific Christian healing in the 21st century.
