Next in our biweekly series on how people have nurtured their public practice of Christian Science.
NOT A 28-YEAR DETOUR
FROM CHILDHOOD, I admired the members of my branch Church of Christ, Scientist, who devoted themselves to the practice of Christian Science healing. There was one practitioner in particular, a teacher of Christian Science, whom I admired. I wanted to be just like her! In fact, even before graduating from Sunday School, I took Primary class instruction from her. And soon after that, people started calling me to pray for them.
Then, right after I graduated from college, a fellow church member spoke with me about the great need for Christian Science nurses in the State of Maine. I saw this employment as a direct extension of my devotion to the practice of Christian Science, and soon I was working as a full-time Christian Science nurse listed in The Christian Science Journal.
