A CONTINUING SERIES ON HOW CHURCH IS ACTIVE IN PEOPLE'S LIVES

CHURCH LIVES

Living Church every day

I Joined The Mother Church—The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Massachusetts—in 1949. My husband and I raised a family of five children, plus foster children, and had many healings through Christian Science treatment and spiritual growth. But I left the teachings of Christian Science in the early 1960s when I was faced with several difficulties that I felt I was not at the time able to overcome by relying on prayer. I felt I had failed God as well as the religion I truly loved.

For many years I didn't attend any church regularly. But I never lost my love for the Bible or Mary Baker Eddy's book Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures.
