It is right to let our light shine

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.

The influence of the media in my life has been a profound one, not only because I am an average member of society who reads the newspapers and watches news and goes to films but because I work professionally in the media. I'm an actress in film, television, and stage. My perception of what my work is really about has changed since I have been studying Christian Science. I'd like to share some of the prayers that have led me this greater understanding of my career as a way to serve God better.
