Who needs organization?
In submitting this narrative, the author, a college student, noted: I offer this in the spirit of Mrs. Eddy's request, ".... that you, her students' students, who write such excellent letters to her, will hereafter, as a general rule, send them to the editors of The Christian Science Journal for publication, and thereby give to us all the pleasure of hearing from you." Miscellaneous Writings, p. 155.
When I applied for class instruction in Christian Science, a kind of mental revolution began.
I had always thought of myself as anti-organization. I never took part in committees or school government, and being an only child in a family that moved frequently, I was used to accomplishing projects on my own. For a long time I even believed that part of the appeal of Christian Science was what I saw as its independence from human organization.
