  • 500 Watching Points for Advanced Students of Christian Science
    500 WATCHING POINTS for ADVANCING STUDENTS of CHRISTIAN SCIENCE Written in Providence, R.I. During the period, 1929-1942 by Gilbert Congden Carpenter, C.S.B. Introduction OUR TEXTBOOK, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, by Mary Baker Eddy, covers every human need, and sets forth the means whereby every problem may be solved. Each student, however, _ is left to make his own application of its teachings, especially in relation to that phase of error which would claim to prevent the student, either from understanding the true import of the teachings that are in the Bible, and in his textbook, or from making that broader application of his understanding, which alone brings final salvation. Students who lived in our Leader's home testify that no phase of human experience was so insignificant that it did not require them to apply to it the rules of God, and to seek His help. Many of the misunderstandings that occurred, arose from the fact that students had a limited conception of the application of truth, in contrast to their Leader's extended use of it. There were some who considered that Mrs. Eddy was over-punctilious about unimportant details but she was only demanding right thinking from her students in the smallest matters as well as in the greatest. She was never known to rebuke or criticize a student for making a demonstration of a humanly unimportant matter. Your teacher intends these watching points to constitute a timely hint to his students, to broaden their demonstration of Christian Science as Mrs.

    June 23, 2021 - Changes Volume 21, No. 6 coU/chttp://members.christianscience.com/ Inspiration Theo11131111313 following excerpt #N13 is VVol “We11113.111311311#12 Knew Mary Baker Eddy, Expanded Edition, Vol.1” from Daisette D. S. McKenzie’s reminiscence. (pg. 254) The role of Reading Rooms While every Christian Scientist has the privilege of distributing these sacred writings, the opportunity of doing so in the appointed order belongs especially to our Reading Rooms and our Distribution Committees. Mrs. Eddy once spoke of “home” as “your calm, sacred retreat.” We may think of our Reading Rooms, too, as a spiritual home and sacred retreat for church members as well as for inquirers. In them is spread a banquet of sustaining food for the seeker after healing of mind and body. The doubting, the distressed, the bewildered, the weary, may find in the shelter of the Reading Room the quiet and peace in which to ponder and pray, and to gain direction from the intimate Love which is ever seeking to find that which is lost, to heal that which is broken, and to comfort “as one whom his mother comforteth” (Isaiah 66:13). Our Leader has provided in the Manual that no reading be done in a Reading Room except that of her writings, the Bible, and our authorized publications, and that secular matters not be discussed, that this atmosphere of calm and holy meditation may be always found there. May our church members realize more fully the purpose of the Reading Rooms and avail themselves more often of the tender care shown in providing them.

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. Frye’s plain black top hat, now in Longyear’s and photographing the final gift of 400 Beacon collection, is part of a recent gift from The Mother Church of Street furnishings received from The First Church artifacts from Mary Baker Eddy’s former home in Chestnut of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Massachusetts.

  • Christian Scientists in the Courts
    Christianity Case Study – Minority in America 2018 Christian Scientists in the Courts Since independence, Christians have always been a majority of the US population, so it may seem curious to call American Christians a minority. However, some Christians have been rejected by the wider US Christian community and are thus “minoritized”—meaning they are treated as if they do not belong to the majority. Christians from such groups have often claimed they face persecution or hardships. One of these groups is the Christian Scientists. This American born The Mother Church of the Church of Christ, religion began in 1879 in Massachusetts, with Scientist, in Boston, Massachusetts.

Religions are embedded in culture, and are deeply impacted by questions of power. While Based in this belief, Christian Scientists generally reading this case study about Christianity and view disease and illness as a mental error, not a life as a member of a minority religion in America, think about who is in power and who physical problem. Thus, to heal ailments, they lacks power. Is someone being oppressed? Is usually rely on prayer rather than medical care. someone acting as an oppressor?

  • July 2021 Change
    July 2021 In This Issue: President's Message Send Your Information Affiliate Activities We Remember Notable Birthdays Calendar of Events Change. After the past year and a half, most likely all of us have a new perspective on change and everything it connotes. Change can be frightening, uncomfortable and heartbreaking. It also can be rejuvenating, uplifting and necessary. One of the biggest changes NFPW found it necessary to make during the COVID-19 pandemic was to shift the 2021 conference from an in-person meeting to a virtual event. It was a tremendous leap of faith. How would members respond? How would potential speakers respond? Could we make the technology work? What resulted was rejuvenating and uplifting, due in no small measure to the efforts of the conference host affiliate—Arkansas Press Women—and their commitment to what turned out to be a two-year odyssey to get from Baton Rouge in 2019 to Little Rock in 2021. And what a conference it turned out to be! The sessions were interesting, engaging and moving. We heard from such remarkable women as Michelle Duster, the great- granddaughter of African-American journalist and activist Ida B. Wells, and Elizabeth Eckford, one of nine African-American students who integrated Little Rock’s Central High School in 1957. I hope those of you who heard them speak were as inspired as I was. We also had a chance to learn the latest about drones, podcasting, social media strategies, writing memoirs, being a food and travel writer, and misinformation on the Internet—all relevant and important topics in today’s rapidly changing media world.

  • 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.

The collection consists of two series: Series I, Pamphlets and Series II, Serial Publications. Series I, Pamphlets, consists mostly of the writings of Mary Baker Eddy as small leaflets or booklets.

Some of the pamphlets were never published such as "Why is it?" by Mary Baker Eddy (PE00262). Pamphlets also include "Christ My Refuge" sheet music (PE00032) and a Science and Health advertisement (PE00220).
