    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.

    May 25, 2021 - Changes Volume 21, No. 5 coU/chttp://members.christianscience.com/ Inspiration Theo11131111313 following excerpt #N13 is VVol from11113.111311311#12 “The importance of the Reading Room” by Richard Bergenheim (The Christian Science Journal, November 1994): Have you ever considered the fact that a Christian Science Reading Room exists to alert the community that human experience does not exist in a realm separate from God's government? A Reading Room can be thought of as the leaven of Truth and Love at work, permeating the neighborhood with a sense of Christ's new appearing, bringing healing and order to every aspect of human life. (Of course, it isn't the Reading Room that does this, but the prayer of those manning it and supporting it!) Christ, Truth, reveals that the human and the divine actually coincide. Jesus and later his disciples began their ministry by preaching ". the kingdom of God is at hand." The Reading Room is a place where this evangelical work continues within the world today. The belief that there is a disconnection between human experience and the Divine can result in much effort to establish a connection that already exists. Conscious being, like a pool produced by a spring, is the product of Soul, Spirit. The union between Soul and man is permanent and unalterable. The true nature and character of man are defined by Soul, God, who sustains man's existence. Consider the spring and the pool. If the spring stopped, the pool inevitably would go dry. The immortal activity of Soul prevents man from going dry.

  • Healing Theologies in Christian Science and Secret Revelation of John: a Critical Conversation in Practical Theology
    HEALING THEOLOGIES IN CHRISTIAN SCIENCE AND SECRET REVELATION OF JOHN: A CRITICAL CONVERSATION IN PRACTICAL THEOLOGY by SHIRLEY THOMAS PAULSON A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF THEOLOGY AND RELIGION School of Philosophy, Theology and Religion College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham June 2017 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. Dedicated to my mother, in appreciation for her instilling in me an unwavering love for God and for humanity and generations to come ABSTRACT This thesis asks what might be revealed from a Practical Theology conversation between historical texts and contemporary Christian Science experience about healing theologies and practices. Certain enduring theological ideas (God’s goodness and omnipotence, the deceptiveness and impotence of evil, and a correlation between healing and salvation) explain these Christian healing practices. I investigate such ideas and practices using a Practical Theology methodology that accommodates an epistemological contrast and enables meaningful analysis of the ideas. This ‘critical conversation’ between the Secret Revelation of John, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, and myself as an autoethnographic ‘text,’ draws out comparisons and contrasting ideas of Christian healing.

  • Maria Louise Baum
    Maria Louise Baum Maria Louise Baum (1867 – 1941) joined The Mother Church in 1900. She was a resident of Boston, and worked for The Christian Science Monitor for a period. I read somewhere that she served as the editor of the Home Forum Page, but I couldn't find confirmation of that fact. Ms. Baum is the author of 7 hymn texts in our Hymnals, each of which was written especially for the music. There are 3 settings of our first hymn, "Here, O God, Thy Healing Presence" (109, 110 & 442), but it was Mozart's music in 109 that she wrote her words for. Hymn 109 She was identified as the author or principal compiler of the first edition (1933) of the Hymnal Notes (to the Christian Science Hymnal), and signed the introduction to the Notes. At the end of that introduction, she writes: "The Hymn and Tune Book of Boston, which was the first Hymnal used in Christian Science services, says, in a Preface: 'Choirs do not expect to sing well without careful practice; why should a congregation? Some regularly organized plan to secure general musical culture, and stated rehearsals, should be a part of the working apparatus of each church.' The words of our next hymn, "In Thee, my God and Saviour," were taken from Mary's rejoicing as recorded in Luke 1:46. Hymn 153 Ms. Baum worked as a translator for published music. I found 19 instances of her having translated solo and choral music from French, Italian, German and Russian into English -- and these must represent only a small part of her work.
