When Christian Scientists are talking to each other
My friend and fellow blogger, Karen the Madcap Christian Scientist recently shared a post entitled "suggestions for talking with" reminding people not to make assumptions, presumptions.

My sister was also in attendance at the college and their Resident Counselor (RC), we'll call them "S" found her crying.
