The Managing Editors of the print and broadcast Heralds of Christian Science have a special perspective on globalization. We conclude this feature with excerpts from their roundtable discussion on the subject. Bill Dawley, Managing Editor of all the Heralds moderates.

Bill: Clearly, we're in a place humanity has never been before — technologically, industrially, and in other ways. In that sense, every world citizen is a kind of pioneer. What's going to lead us through this untrod territory?

Michael Pabst, German Herald: We're not without a map to guide us. We have the Bible and Science and Health. Mary Baker Eddy writes, “Acquaintance with the original texts, and willingness to give up human beliefs ... open the way for Christian Science to be understood, and make the Bible the chart of life, where the buoys and healing currents of Truth are pointed out” (Science and Health, page 24).
