Exploring in depth what Christian Science is and how it heals.

Singing new songs

Tamsin, Andrew, Airlie: Tell me about how you formed as a musical group and why you got started. Tamsin: We have known each other since school days together.

God's divine decrees

God’s complete sovereignty is one of the reigning themes of the Bible. In few places is this life-changing fact more compelling and powerfully told than in the book of Daniel.

At home in the arms of divine Love

The day after I graduated from college in the Midwest, I went on a road trip to California with college friends. The sporty-looking car was very little! Every inch of the trunk and the backseat was packed, leaving only a little room on the backseat for one person.

All in a day's fishing

No matter what our profession or vocation—fishing, athletics, exploring, or working in an office—each of us can rely on divine Mind for perception, courage, dedication, and intuition. As Mary Baker Eddy writes, “To those leaning on the sustaining infinite, to-day is big with blessings” (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p.

For nearly a century, Christian Science nursing facilities have served as quiet havens, where Christian Science healing may be practiced and supported. Each month, the  Journal publishes a brief explanation of the services Christian Science nursing facilities offer at the end of its Directory of Christian Science Nurses (see p.

No member can ever be isolated

Years ago, when my husband and I, and our two daughters, lived on an isolated ranch in northeastern Oregon, The Mother Church seemed far away. Although I loved Christian Science, it was often difficult (and sometimes impossible, with storms or below-zero weather) to leave our mountain valley and get down the mountain to the local branch church.

The call to commit

Since I was raised in Christian Science and in the Sunday School, it felt natural to apply for Mother Church membership, which I did a year after I graduated from Sunday School at age 20. By then I had started living this religion and had prayed about issues regarding schoolwork, finding employment, and resolving relationship problems.

Serving a worldwide family

While in my teens, after going through a very challenging time in my life, I took up the study of Christian Science. I attended a branch church, read the Christian Science Bible Lesson and the periodicals, and spent a lot of time in prayer.
