Deborah Huebsch

Deborah Huebsch, a practitioner and teacher of Christian Science, was the guest on this audio chat on JSH-Online.com. Deborah earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Theater from the University of California, Berkeley, and later, an MA from the University of Oregon in Interdisciplinary Studies.
