Q A
Q Why don't you drink, smoke, or use social drugs?
A Addictive or intoxicating substances enslave individuals. Drugs may dull a person's moral judgment, and impair his ability to understand his relation to God. They may seem to give the promise of a better life, but they can never deliver the joy and substance of spiritual life. Christian Science awakens people to the peace and satisfaction that are found in God's love and care. This frees them from relying on stimulants.
Q Is your religion changing with the times?
A The activities of the Church continue to evolve to meet the needs of the times. The fundamental teachings and practice of Christian Science do not change—nor will they change. They are fully and finally stated in the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health by Mary Baker Eddy, based on the timeless healing works of Christ Jesus.
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."
