From our speaker:

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.

There’s no question that I was jubilant about the way my life was being transformed. But what impressed me the most was finding out that these kinds of breakthroughs aren’t one-time, personal miracles. God’s love is available to everyone, and there’s even a textbook on Christian Science healing that explains the power of God’s love in our lives: Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures.

What I’ve gone on to learn, and what I’ll share in my lecture, is that the perspective of God and reality that Christian Science opens up is one that offers freedom from whatever in our lives seems painful, debilitating, or limiting. I’ll talk about a 19th-century woman, Mary Baker Eddy, who, after a life-threatening injury, discovered this new view of God for herself and went on to explain her discovery and its Bible-based principles in her book Science and Health. And I’ll share how that discovery is still relevant to our lives today because of what it reveals about God’s great love for each of us and its powerful, life-transforming effects.

A winter morning sky holds promise:

MORNING. Light; symbol of Truth; revelation and progress.
(Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Mary Baker Eddy, p. 591:23)

What is Christian Science?

Christian Science is both a religious teaching and a Bible-based system of spiritual healing. It was founded by Mary Baker Eddy to “…reinstate primitive Christianity and its lost element of healing.”

A little background . . .

Located in downtown Burien, west of Sea-Tac Airport, our church is a branch of The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Mass., founded by Mary Baker Eddy in 1879. In 2012 we were joined by the congregation from First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Renton – a church that was part of the Renton community since 1926. Together, we’re moving forward to serve South King County in the present and beyond. Christian Science is based on the Bible and the teachings of Christ Jesus, following his example of healing through prayer. This healing science applies to any type of problem including those threatening your health, relationships, and economic well being. You and your family are invited to visit us during our church services or stop by our Reading Room and bookstore.
