Back in May, when I wrote about Ms. Eddy and alcohol, I came across a parable that was largely overlooked by my Sunday School teachers, it comes from Luke 5:36-39 and it talks about wine. "And he spake also a parable unto them; No man putteth a piece of a new garment upon an old; if … Continue reading what their itching ears want to hear – new wine-old bottles, Mary Baker Eddy & Luke 5:36-39

I was intrigued, … Continue reading Junior Christian Science Bible Teaching Show & the Devil in the Church

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…

renew a focus on our primary resources for spiritual growth – shut down the questioning
It seems the "Circle of faith" community at christianscience.com is closing down. While I never spent much time there, I did enjoy the idea that The Mother Church would permit "open idalogue among Christian Scientists, their fellow Christians, and people of other faith traditions." The reason given? we feel this is an opportunity to pause … Continue reading renew a focus on our primary resources for spiritual growth – shut down the questioning

“Top 10 signs of good spirituality”
I’m not sure what I’m looking for as I adventure away from Christian Science, but this looks like a good list of things to take into consideration.
This essay was first published at The Humanist Contemplative.
Over the course of my comparative studies, there are some general traits I’ve noticed which seem to be shared between those wisdom streams and I thought it could be helpful to point them out. Here are some traits that are a sign of a good and healthy spiritual path…
10) Aim of True Happiness
Good spirituality will have as its aim the happiness of the practitioner. Of course, deep understanding of what this entails is essential. By ‘True Happiness’ we mean something more than mere pleasure associated with one’s conditions. Rather, the kind of happiness a good spirituality will pursue will be a deeper sense of contentment that transcends circumstance. It will be a source of inner strength in the face of adversity and humble appreciation in the face of fortune. Such a happiness is also not selfish in the…

Strong Spiritual Women – Augusta Stetson
Reblogged via Donna Goddard with addational links: It is a rare religion that it is founded by a woman. Christian Science is just such a religion. For all its problems, Christian Science is not a sexist organization. It values women; strong women, brave thinkers, female spiritual leaders. Its founder, Mary Baker Eddy, was one. So … Continue reading Strong Spiritual Women – Augusta Stetson
