Christian Science came to our family when my grandmother...
Christian Science came to our family when my grandmother called a practitioner to pray for her child, after a serious automobile accident. Physicians had given her no hope for the child's recovery; indeed they predicted mental retardation if she did live. Healed she was, through Christian Science treatment, and she had no remaining effects of the injuries.
Although my grandmother did not become a Christian Scientist at that time, she did credit the remarkable recovery to prayer and the spiritual understanding of the practitioner. That child, my mother, eventually did become a Christian Scientist. She has always been an inspiration to me.
Although I attended Sunday School, I gave up my study of Christian Science after marriage. My husband was active in a mainline Christian denomination, and convinced me that our family should attend his church.
