"His outstretched arm awaits us"

Finding Light

Who couldn't use more light, more clarity in a time of questioning? And if we are in the middle of our own search for light, it sometimes helps to hear the experiences of others who are finding "there ariseth light in the darkness," as the Psalmist describes it. This column records some experiences that may be useful to those who are looking for new answers. The accounts are anonymous in order to give authors the opportunity to talk freely about earlier lifestyles and attitudes that may have been considerably different from what they now value. Of necessity, the recounting of experiences is telescoped in its time frame, and these narratives do not attempt to tell a complete story. But they do show something of the wide range of seekers and the way in which the light of Christ, Truth, restores, redirects, and regenerates lives.

It occurred to me that my experience might find a place in "Finding Light"—or, in my case, re-finding light.

I attended Christian Science Sunday School and always felt attracted to its teachings. But it wasn't until about eight years ago that I began to gain an inkling of the possibilities for good inherent in its demonstration.
