To introduce the Museum to a wide audience, Susan is planning a range of special programs and events designed to appeal to young people, adults, families, campers at Christian Science camps across the country, visiting school groups and residents of retirement facilities. “Our goal is to offer three or four special programs a year,” says Susan. “This past March, Dr. Paul O.

We’re grateful that our new book, Life at 400 Beacon Street: Working in Mary Baker Eddy’s Household, by Heather Vogel Frederick, is being warmly received, and the Museum Store staff has been busy fulfilling orders. In March, we recorded an audio version of the book that will be available this summer. Other staff members have been traveling with Heather as she gives book talks around the country, and we expect these talks to continue into next year, so if we don’t make it to your area in 2019, we may be planning a visit in 2020! Please watch our website for details. Meanwhile, a number of our staff are involved in the planning and pre-construction work at 400 Beacon Street itself, as we prepare for another phase of restoration later this year. Work continues at the other Mary Baker Eddy Historic Houses as well, and on many other projects, including processing Calvin A.

  • Mary Baker Eddy Incoming Correspondence Index, Alphabetical
    Incoming Correspondence of Mary Baker Eddy (Formerly Chestnut Hill File) Collection Description Correspondence, c. 1880–1910 This collection consists mainly of letters received by Mary Baker Eddy and members of her household from c. 1880–1910. A small quantity of correspondence also predates and postdates this time span. Comments, notations, and responses by Eddy or her staff also appear on some documents. Correspondents include family, students, employees, Christian Scientists, the general public, and a few notable figures such as journalist Arthur Brisbane and suffragist Susan B. Anthony. There are approximately 6,700 correspondent files, many consisting of one letter (see finding aid for complete list). It is likely that her personal secretary, Calvin A. Frye, organized this file with assistance from other secretaries in later years. The name Chestnut Hill File derives from Mary Baker Eddy’s last home in Chestnut Hill, MA, where the file was located until it was moved to The First Church of Christ, Scientist sometime after 1915. Because of confusion about the scope and content of the file–it is not correspondence only from the time Eddy lived at Chestnut Hill, nor is it material about Chestnut Hill or the home located there–the file has been renamed to reflect what the file does contain, Eddy’s incoming correspondence. Size of collection: 38.3 linear feet Date opened: large portions on September 29, 2002 and December 23, 2002 Access: Some material is open. Remaining material will be processed upon request. See finding aid for a complete list of files and their status. 200 Massachusetts Avenue Boston, MA 02115 888-222-3711 www.marybakereddylibrary.org Provenance The Chestnut Hill File was transferred to the archives of The First Church of Christ, Scientist, sometime after the conveyance of Eddy’s personal property from the Trustees Under the Will of Mary Baker Eddy to the church.

  • Women Who Would Not Be Silent
    WOMEN WHO WOULD NOT BE SILENT Mary Baker Eddy (1821-1910) was an influential American author, teacher, and religious leader, noted for her groundbreaking ideas about spirituality and health, which she named Christian Science. She articulated those ideas in her major work, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, first published in 1875. Four years later she founded the Church of Christ, Scientist, which today has branch churches and societies around the world. In 1908 she launched The Christian Science Monitor, a leading international newspaper, the recipient, to date, of seven Pulitzer Prizes. “Woman must not and will not be disheartened by a thousand denials or a million of broken pledges. With the assurance of faith she prays, with the certainty of inspiration she works, and with the patience of genius she waits. At last she is becoming ‘as fair as the morn, as bright as the sun, and as terrible as an army with banners’ to those who march under the black flag of oppression and wield the ruthless sword of injustice.” ~Pulpit and Press, 83:8 “Let the voice of Truth and Love be heard above the dire din of mortal nothingness, and the majestic march of Christian Science go on ad infinitum, praising God, doing the works of primitive Christianity, and enlightening the world.” ~The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany, page 245 “Let it not be heard in Boston that woman, ‘last at the cross and first at the sepulchre,’ has no rights which man is bound to respect. In natural law and in religion the right of woman to fill the highest measure of enlightened understanding and the highest places in government, is inalienable, and these rights are ably vindicated by the noblest of both sexes.

During and since her lifetime, biographers and historians have presented portraits of the founder of Christian Science of an almost dizzying variety, from unadulterated adulation to devas- tating attack.' More recently, Mary Baker Eddy as woman has been the focus of scholarly analysis, with mixed conclusions as to her place in the women's movement of nineteenth-century America and her heritage for contemporary feminism.
