Q A

Q Can Christian Science heal children who are too young to understand its teachings?

A Spiritual healing does not depend on age. Little children respond naturally to God's love and to the mental environment surrounding them. As parents pray, their thoughts are freed from fear and filled with a sense of God's loving care. Both parent and child are benefited. Infants and children are often healed more readily than adults.

Q What do Christian Scientists do in cases of broken bones?

A There are many documented accounts of the setting and mending of broken bones solely through prayer in Christian Science. Some choose to use the services of a surgeon to set the bone and then rely on Christian Science treatment for the healing.

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."
