This article pops up and vanishes again so I thought I would post it in full here. The original link shared under CS Resources now returns a 404-not found, and the Pilot's website is useless at finding old articles. I recently came across this PDF of the entire issue: http://principiapilot.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/pilot_compilation_5-27-10_web.pdf the article is on page … Continue reading Chronicle of a Gay Rights Activist – via the Pilot

Principia’s Homosexual Policies
All students who attend Principia College are required to abide by the following conditions: Presented without further comment is the link to the Change.org petition to support Equality at Principia which states: To: The Principia Administration and Board of Trustees The Principia has pledged to serve the cause of Christian Science. Progressing beyond sexuality to … Continue reading Principia’s Homosexual Policies
Old Testament Morality
Pardon the extended absence. As MBE reminds us "trials are proof of God's care" (S&H 66:6, 10-11), while I'm fairly sure "God" had nothing to do with the incidents that have plagued our household this month, the quote still sticks firmly in the back of my mind. Christian Science (and most Christian religions in general) are … Continue reading Old Testament Morality
fear & heresy
Growing up as a Christian Scientist meant living in fear: fear of mental malpractice, fear the government would take away our religious exemptions, fear we wouldn't be able to adequately demonstrate healing and need (or be "forced by the state") to get treatment from the medical industrial complex. Having left Christian Science, many of us … Continue reading fear & heresy
Vaccinations
This is part of my on-going series of posts on Health Care for Christian Scientists & Former Christian Scientists. I have done my best to collect accurate information about vaccines so that you can make an informed decision. If you have any questions or concerns about vaccinations for yourself or your children, please talk to … Continue reading Vaccinations
Christian Science, Health Care & the Government
I feel strongly about the separation of Church and State. I enjoy having the freedom to practice whatever I'd like, and the freedom from being forced to practice any particular religion. It makes me uncomfortable when "conservatives" with "Christian" values start lobbying Congress for laws that line up with their (Old Testament) views on morality … Continue reading Christian Science, Health Care & the Government
A Principian’s Reflections on the Matthew Code
Way back when I was still a naive and optimistic freshman at Principia College I signed up to participate in an off-campus activity with some fellow students. It would take us away from the campus for several weeks, during which time it was of the UTMOST IMPORTANCE that we uphold the values of Principia and … Continue reading A Principian’s Reflections on the Matthew Code
The 10 Question “Why be good” Matrix
With the ability to reason morally being central to education at Principia, I thought it would only be appropriate to look at the handouts from the Moral Reasoning Seminar. One of the handouts was the 10-question "Why be good" handout (it seems likely I will be referencing it again it is really quite the handout). … Continue reading The 10 Question “Why be good” Matrix
Moral Reasoning
Everyone who graduates from Principia college must take Moral Reasoning. It is usually done their sophomore year, and usually done by the Resident Councilor of the dorm they reside in. Like a number of things at Principia (and in Christian Science in general) the details are kept from the uninitiated, the process is shrouded in … Continue reading Moral Reasoning
Guest Post: Ooh Baby Ooh Baby
The following is a post from a member of the Christian Science Anonymous Facebook group. It is shared with the permission of the original poster. Let's talk about "family planning" Ooh baby ooh baby. In all seriousness though it seems that my experience leaving CS was more natural and fluid than other members here. I … Continue reading Guest Post: Ooh Baby Ooh Baby
