In reading the forward of Francis Dakin's biography, Mrs. Eddy. The biography of a virginal mind, I was struck by Dakin's praise of Georgine Milmine and her book, The life of Mary Baker G. Eddy and the history of Christian Science. On p. x, Dakin writes of Milmine's work: That her book was withdrawn, and … Continue reading Georgine Milmine & The Life of Mary Baker G. Eddy

(ex-)Christian Scientist Health Care- Patent Medicines and Natural Remedies
This was left a as a comment on my Christian Science Health Care: Stocking the medicine cabinet post, I though it was worth sharing further!
Kat at Kindism wrote a very good post describing the common patent medicines for everyday physical problems under the same title I am using here. This strikes me as a very practical thing to do. Please read her article. Then underneath in the comment section I added the following remedies, which I am taking the liberty of re-posting here.
First, let me say that I treat all patent medicines with great wariness and respect. I call anything manufactured by a drug company out of chemicals and targeted to one type of symptom, a patent medicine. Believe me, they are all patented. The drug companies are a powerful, organized force and have taken allopathic medicine to incredible heights. Sometimes power and greed overshadow the quality and leaving CS should not give to permission of use remedies without learning about them.
My basic rule: I try to use only generic medicines. These…

Hello Church Family!
What an exciting last two weeks!!!
The Burning Man Art Festival is fast approaching at the last weekend of August. As a part of my first experience with Christian missionary work, it is very near and dear to my heart.
This year the Christian Science camp has been officially recognized by Burning Man as an “official” camp. This allows it to function differently then it has in the past and opens up opportunities to reach more people with the gospel of Jesus Christ!
The main activities through the Christian Science camp (formally named: Healing Foot Wash, Life, Truth, Love) are healing, prayer, foot washing, and sharing the Word of God.
I wrote this song as a part of last week’s Bible Lesson Mix, but didn’t get a chance to share it. I wanted to include it in this email, along with a few links to encourage any…
