Eye on the world: Prayer for government
In one of her books, Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, wrote, “I am asked, ‘What are your politics?’ I have none, in reality, other than to help support a righteous government; to love God supremely, and my neighbor as myself” (The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany, p. 276).
