Q A

How is the Church governed?

Its government is set forth in the Church Manual, a constitutional document that has remained unchanged since Mrs. Eddy completed it in 1910. Under this Manual, the worldwide business of The Mother Church is transacted by its Board of Directors. Each local church is a democratically governed branch of The Mother Church. Each branch church member has an equal opportunity to participate in branch church work, vote in the election of its local church officers, and serve in these positions.

Q Is Christian Science truly Christian?

A Yes. Its foundation is the inspired teaching and example of Christ Jesus. Christian Scientists take the Saviour's promise seriously—that Christians should heal the sick as well as the sinning, in his name.

Mary Baker Eddy, Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, established the Church of Christ, Scientist, "... to commemorate the word and works of our Master, which should reinstate primitive Christianity and its lost element of healing."
