What is Christian Science?
Christian Science, as discovered by Mary Baker Eddy, refers to the universal, practical system of spiritual, prayer-based
healing, available and accessible to everyone. It is fully explained in Eddy's primary text on spirituality and healing,
Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures.
Christian Science is a means of spiritual care through which individuals have found better emotional and physical health,
answers to life's deepest issues and progress on their spiritual journeys. Healthcare decisions are always a matter of individual
choice.
Basic ideas include:
God is divine Love, Father-Mother, supreme.
The true nature of each individual as a child of God is spiritual.
Infinite goodness, realized in prayer, heals.

In preparation for this year’s Annual Meeting, The Mother Church Board
of Directors invited us all to consider the question, "What does it take to be a healer?" In response to this call,
Sunday School students and teachers at First Church of Christ, Scientist in Madison, Wisconsin have been studying the Beatitudes
and their relation to healing. The children created a wall-sized mural to display the Beatitudes along with written
accounts of fruitage from their own healing work. See below.
Loaves and Fishes
I awoke to feel my shoulder hurting a great deal in the middle of the night.
I tried to get comfortable but found that it hurt no matter what position I was in.
I was worried about what may be wrong with it. I decided that I had to
stop looking for material reasons for the problem and material solutions for the pain.
I knew that God was the source of my well-being and that there could be no effect from any other power. Jesus said, “Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” That night I felt that I wanted to be “poor in spirit”, to give up my material goals and desires
in exchange for God’s. I soon was able to fall asleep. The next morning my shoulder was much improved and within the next few days I was able to engage in strenuous
activity with the shoulder with no problem.
