Letters to the Press

From Christian Science Committees on Publication

with contributions from James C. Allison, George E. Mahon

Concord Monitor
Concord, New Hampshire

A letter writer in the Monitor [of] February 3 named several groups which he felt "could demand equal time to brainwash our youth" if the teaching of transcendental meditation were allowed in public schools.

We hope [the writer] won't be disappointed to learn that Christian Scientists would not be such a group. Though our religious teachings are at the opposite pole from "Vedic metaphysics," Christian Scientists have no more interest in "brainwashing" school pupils—or in public taxpayer support—than would most other Christians.
