"A different perspective"

Pablo Campás Ohnikian

I learned about Christian Science through my mom, and soon all my family started attending church. We liked the explanations about the Bible. Then I began going to Sunday School, and it was nice because the teachers would help us whenever we came with any doubt or problem.

In 1998 I went to a big gathering of college students, held at The Mother Church in Boston. It was beautiful, and I got to know students from other parts of the world. There was a lot of unity among us. When you know you can solve problems through prayer, you see things from a different perspective — a spiritual one. All those students agreed on this point.

Something that happened there showed me how powerful this spiritual perspective is. One day, a girl from our group couldn't find her money. She became very anxious because that was the only money she had left, and we had to return to Argentina soon.
