Church and state

Reliance on God is authorized by the highest power there is, supreme Spirit.

From the Office of The Committee on Publication M. Victor Westberg

The idea of separation of church and state was first enacted into law in the United States. This ideal fostered religious freedom. It nourished an atmosphere in which Mary Baker Eddy not only reinstated the lost practice of scientific Christian healing but also founded a church that would bring the healing truth to the world—the Church of Christ, Scientist.

From its formative years during the colonial era, right up to the present, the United States has been a haven for people who seek the freedom to worship and raise families in their chosen faith without fear of persecution. Its government came to fruition on the eastern shores of America shaped by this timeless human desire. And from this government, a Constitution and a Bill of Rights resulted that safeguard the deepest beliefs held by mankind.
