Christian Science is a Bible-based religion founded by Mary Baker Eddy and based on the healing truth Christ Jesus preached and practiced.
Christian Science churches have no clergy. The church’s founder, Mary Baker Eddy, ordained that the Bible and Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, would be the dual pastor. During the week leading up to the Sunday Service, Christian Scientists all over the world study the Weekly Bible Lesson “sermon,” found in the Christian Science Quarterly. On Sunday, this Lesson is read to the congregation by two members of the church who conduct the service. Mary Baker Eddy established our pastor to remove personality and human opinion and allow God’s Word to be heard “uncontaminated by human hypotheses.” (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p. 457.1) Mary Baker Eddy’s work, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, thoroughly explains the spiritual teachings of the Bible. Mrs. Eddy devoted her life to “communicating a message of hope, healing, comfort and spiritual strength to the world.” (The Mother Church, www.christianscience.com) In addition to making Science and Health available to everyone, Mrs. Eddy immersed herself in teaching, healing, lecturing and leading the Christian Science movement. She knew, as did Christ Jesus, that we all possess the ability to create health and harmony in all areas of our lives. |
