In the home of my childhood, religion was often discussed, and sometimes a cause of friction. My parents were of different Christian faiths. I attended church sometimes with my father, sometimes with my mother, and it troubled me that we did not worship together as a family.

After I was married, my mother-in-law introduced me to Christian Science. I could understand little, if anything, of it at first, but gradually I began to read the daily religious articles in The Christian Science Monitor.

Several years later my husband was unemployed for about a year. His mother never expressed doubt that he would obtain proper employment, whereas my own mother displayed much fear and concern about our financial future. My mother-in-law's lack of worry impressed me, and I began to study seriously this freeing religion. In time I relinquished membership in my father's church and became a member of The Mother Church.
