Profile of a discovery

BRIAN E. ZAVITZ

One of a series of articles by young people who have in recent years become Christian Scientists. They explain how they became interested in Christian Science, what convinced them of its utility and truth, and how its teachings have changed their lives.

From a young age I had a questioning mind—never satisfied until I had got to the truth of a thing. As I got older, this questioning began to probe deeper, confronting fundamental issues about existence. It became an increasingly conscious search for what I began to call "absolute truth."

Most people, of course, argued that all truth was relative; that what was true for one might be different from what was true for another, though just as valid. But something deep inside me rebelled against accepting this. Somewhere there had to be a frame of reference set above relativism and centered on the ultimate nature of things.
