Garments of praise

Brian Kissock

The Bible speaks of the seamless robe or tunic worn by Jesus (see John 19:23). To weave a seamless garment requires great skill. I used to be in the garment manufacturing and fashion business. We made men’s and women’s suits.

I got to thinking at that time about some of Mary Baker Eddy’s synonyms for God and how they fit every part of our experience. They include Mind, Spirit, Life, Principle, and Soul (see Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p. 465).

I would often sit with our design team, thinking about the ways in which Mind, divine intelligence, was expressing itself. As I shared the insights that came to me, my fellow workers would draw the designs.
