Christian Science
Annual Meeting Weekend 2015
The Christian Science Church holds its Annual Meeting on the first Monday of June each year, but lately it has been virtual via the internet, so it was a special treat to come together in Boston again this year.
Persistence Alone Wins the Prize
When I think of persistence, I think of the slow erosion of stone, or the prolonged build up of stalactites and stalagmites, over long years of seemingly inconsequential but protracted dripping.
Uncleanness Cast Out
I saw clearly that the Christ did not just cast out that one man’s uncleanness, but everyone’s for all time, including you and me and everybody we pray for.
Today’s Newspaper Article About Mary Baker Eddy
I am a regular contributor to the Danbury News Times Forum on Faith column, which is also picked up by the Connecticut Post and the Stamford Advocate.
Frame of Reference is Important
Things are literally different depending on “the frame of reference” you view them from, and this has been proven to be true experimentally. It is not just an illusion.
Energy Instead of Mass
We usually consider matter as solid, but it is far from it. The closer you get to looking at matter, the less material it seems to be.
Free Print Christian Science Lectures
This is an unnecessarily bare-bones site graphically, but it has tons of print lectures on Christian Science available from as far back as 1900.
My Newspaper Article About Evil
I think we will all ultimately experience evil as impotent, because we will each realize that we prefer to do and experience the will of divine good.
Historical Christian Science Lectures
Our website for the Christian Science Churches in Connecticut has just been redone, and I thought it might be of interest to blog readers to know that it also features access to historical lectures on Christian Science downloadable for free on audio.

I love Creative Arts Camp in Maine. The people are terrific: the convergence of art with Christian Science is an amazing combination.
The Distinction Between Jesus and the Christ
I was struck while studying the Christian Science Bible lesson for this week by the distinctions made between Jesus and the Christ.
Is God the Only Power?
I read recently something written by Edward A. Kimball in 1909 originally published in the Bloomington Illinois Daily Bulletin newspaper titled “Answers to Questions Concerning Christian Science.” One of the major questions he answers is: What are the fundamental points of difference between Christian Scientists and other Christians? Here is the first part of his answer:
My Newspaper Article on Forgiveness
Throughout my life I have had many opportunities to forgive people. My indispensable go-to approach in these situations is to follow Jesus’ example on the cross when he magnanimously said, “Forgive them for they know not what they do.”
Our Hostess this Week
Our hostess for this week in Sacramento was someone I had met only for a couple minutes once in Boston, but she knows my kids, who all think she is awesome.
The Reading Room in Downtown Sacramento
I enjoyed visiting this awesome Christian Science Reading Room in downtown Sacramento. I love how it was designed to coordinate with the trade edition of Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy. And their enormous window was well used for quotes, articles, and ideas.
