Christian Scientists: scientific Christian healers
As a child growing up in a family of Christian Scientists, I remember being perplexed on hearing many acquaintances refer to Christian Scientists as "those people who don't believe in doctors." Such a description made me feel uncomfortable. Except for my church friends, everyone I came into contact with seemed convinced that normal human beings rely on medical doctors for their health care. They assumed that if you did not go to a doctor when you were sick, you were acting irresponsibly.
I have come to realize that this negative way of regarding Christian Scientists is not very useful and is even unintentionally misleading. Let me explain why.
