Letters to the PRESS—and other articles
Boston Herald
From the Boston Herald August 31, 1993
Today, high courts sit in judgment over children's lives—deciding between biological parents and foster ones, between divorcing mothers and fathers, and now, in light of the Twitchell case here in Boston and the Lundman case in Minneapolis, between parents' religious beliefts and conventional medicine.
Let it be stated clearly that Christian Scientists are not opposed to conventional medicine or doctors—but we are opposed to disease, death, and sin. And so, like the rest of society, we work to keep ourselves and those we love from suffering from their effects. The only difference is our system of treatment—the power of Christianly scientific prayer.
