What is Christian Science?

---

Although a distinctive part of Christian Science is the healing of disease by spiritual means alone, its higher purpose is to get to know God better which results in universal salvation from every phase of evil - including sin and death.

It’s teachings are set forth in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy. Mary Baker Eddy intended this book to be a guidebook on practical spirituality for anyone, regardless of circumstance, religion, culture, occupation, education or age. Science and Health explains universal spiritual laws that, when understood and applied, bring comfort, transformation and healing. It continues to be one of the most effective and enduring books on spirituality and healing. Find out more about this book and read it for yourself at www.spirituality.com.

Healing Practice

Christian Science teaches us how to heal spiritually. Experienced Christian Science Practitioners, or spiritual healers, are available to whom you can turn at a time of need, 24 hours a day. Often the contact is just by telephone or e-mail, but a Practitioner will welcome the opportunity to meet with you too if needed. They are also there to answer questions on Christian Science. These Practitioners are listed in The Christian Science Journal, where you will find contact details of a Practitioner near you.

In addition to Practitioners, a visiting Christian Science nurse service is available which provides practical help in case of physical difficulties. There are also Christian Science nursing homes available for more supportive care.
