"Humanity's desire for spiritual nourishment"

If we think of radio broadcasting as one-way communication, we need to think again when it comes to The Herald of Christian Science shortwave broadcasts!

One of the remarkable things about Herald broadcasts is the extraordinarily active two-way interchange between producers and listeners. From its beginnings four years ago, the flow of communication from listeners has been strong and steady. More, than 55,000 letters and postcards from listeners in 163 countries, have been received at the Herald broadcasting offices in Boston.

The relationship between Herald broadcasting and its listeners is a living one. Many of the cards have simply been enthusiastic acknowledgment of reception of the radio signal. Others are brief notes of thanks for the quality of broadcasts—and in parts of the world where nondogmatic, nonproselytizing religious broadcasts are rare, this is no small thing to these listeners. But some letters—not just a handful, but thousands—have been written from the depths of listeners' search for God, for healing, for answers to challenges of family life, career, political repression, and poverty.
