8 people tell how prayer moves us forward
In one way or another, each of the following stories illustrates how turning to God helps bridge the sometimes painful periods of transition and turmoil that come to us all. Whether the circumstances involve a divorce, a relocation, or a sudden loss, the fact that we are never beyond the care and guidance of divine Love is the constant that we can count on to help us navigate change and maintain stability.
Perspectives on Science, Theology, and Medicine
Christian Science healing methods explained — with contributions from Dale A. Matthews, Physiotherapist, Physician, Holistic Health Care Worker
What God is, and what God does
Christian Science explains that God is infinite Spirit and that He is constantly giving out spiritual qualities — wisdom, joy, love, and grace. Anyone who wants to understand what God is and what He does must therefore cultivate what this religion calls "spiritual sense," or the capacity to register, express, and appreciate these spiritual qualities.

A Christian Science Talk with Lesley Pitts
"God's love, goodness, and intelligence never change and are always available," says Pitts. "When we discover God's love and care for us, we can confidently turn to this divine presence and find our lives transformed and healed — and our families, communities, and the whole world benefit, too."
Sharing examples of healing from her own life and professional practice of Christian Science, Pitts will explain why Christian Science is both Christian and scientific, meaning that people can prove its effectiveness for themselves, as fully described in the book Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, written by the founder of the Christian Science movement, Mary Baker Eddy.
Pitts will also touch on the life of Mary Baker Eddy, who came to understand, confirm, and teach what she felt was original Christian healing. Eddy herself said she was especially inspired by Jesus' demand, "He that believes on me, the works that I do will he do also; and greater works than these will he do, because I go unto my Father" (found in the Gospel of John 14:12 in the Bible).
For over 150 years, people around the world have worked to follow Christ Jesus in this practice of Christianity and continue to do so today, experiencing healings of physical ills and personal difficulties.

Free online lecture - A new view of God and its effect on well-being
When most people think about life-changing moments, they may not think of a lecture on Christian Science. That wasn't why I attended a lecture for the first time; I didn't expect to walk out a new person. But I found something in that lecture that was indeed life-transforming. Christian Science gave me a new view of God that I'd not had before: a view of God as Love itself, divine Love that loved me fully. I also discovered that this loving God was not the source of my troubles (which were many) but the solution to them. My life began to improve quickly after that and I became a healthy man after many years of suffering.

What is Christian Science?
Christian Science is more than theory — it's a practice that can deepen your relationship with God and change life for the better. In Christian Science, God is understood to be infinite Love, and so invariably good that a clear glimpse of this through prayer has power to heal, redeem, and restore anyone.

Can Christianity be scientific?
Science is all about understanding and demonstration. Christianity is of the heart. Can these two views be in harmony with each other? We invite you to read a few articles that show how naturally Christianity and Science go together and the blessings that this connection can bring.
Is Christian Science the same as Scientology? The similarities in name can cause some confusion, but the two are, in fact, entirely different religions with very little in common and are not connected in any way. Learn more

Mary Baker Eddy
Mary Baker Eddy (1821-1910) was a lifelong student of the Bible. It became clear to her that spiritual healing was based on divine laws of God, Spirit, and that these laws could be applied by anyone to heal human suffering and sin. Her primary work, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, contains the full explanation of Christian Science and its biblical foundation of spiritual healing. Mary Baker Eddy went on to establish the Church of Christ, Scientist, as a Christian denomination and worldwide movement of spiritual healers.
