FROM ANNUAL REPORTS OF CHRISTIAN SCIENCE COMMITTEES ON PUBLICATION

Correcting Erroneous Statements

with contributions from Colin R. Eddison

Great Britain

The aspect of the work of the Committees on Publication which most impressed the District Manager this year, 1952, is the underlying stability of the Christian Science movement. Our beloved Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, writes as follows in "Miscellaneous Writings" (p. 383): "The elements of earth beat in wain against the immortal parapets of this Science. Erect and eternal, it will go on with the ages, go down the dim posterns of time unharmed, and on every battlefield rise higher in the estimation of thinkers and in the hearts of Christians."

References in the press to Christian Science or to Mrs. Eddy requiring correction have again been comparatively few. They have, however, in many cases been of special interest. This has been markedly so in connection with the revival of interest in spiritual healing. Comment on this subject may, broadly speaking, be classified under three heads: (1) The publicity given in a Sunday newspaper to a series of articles on religious denominations in this country; (2) the publication of a book by an evangelical clergyman on psychology, religion, and healing; and (3) the consideration of the modern revival of spiritual healing by the Lower and Upper Houses of Convocation of Canterbury.
