Q A

Q How do you go about healing the sick?

A Christian Science healing comes through spiritual communion with God and scientific prayer based on the laws of God. It is specific treatment. Such prayer recognizes a patient's direct access to God's love and discovers more of the consistent operation of God's law of health and wholeness on his or her behalf. It knows God, or divine Mind, as the only healer. It brings the transforming action of the Christ, the idea of divine Love, to the patient's consciousness. This, in turn, changes the individual's condition and brings healing (see Science and Health, p. 194).

Q Do you believe in heaven and hell?

A Heaven and hell are regarded not as specific destinations one reaches only after death, but as states of thought experienced in varying degrees here and now, as well as after death.

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."
