About Christian Science
Christian Science is a religious movement that emerged in the United States in the late 19th century, founded by Mary Baker Eddy. The core belief of Christian Science is the understanding of God as the only reality and the power of spiritual healing through prayer. This faith emphasizes the importance of spiritual understanding and the practice of healing through divine principles.
The Church of Christ, Scientist, is the main organization representing Christian Science, with branches and activities worldwide, including the UK. The church promotes the study of the Bible and Eddy’s writings, particularly her seminal work, “Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures.”
Christian Science practitioners are trained to provide spiritual healing services, helping individuals overcome physical and emotional challenges through prayer and spiritual insight. The church also offers various resources, including literature, lectures, and Sunday services, to support its members and the wider community.
In addition to spiritual healing, Christian Science encourages a lifestyle of love, compassion, and service to others. The church actively engages in community outreach programs, promoting health and well-being through spiritual education and support.
With a commitment to fostering a deeper understanding of spirituality, Christian Science aims to inspire individuals to seek a closer relationship with God and to experience the transformative power of divine love in their lives.
