THE CHRISTIAN SCIENTIFIC METHOD

JEFF WARD-BAILEY, STAFF EDITOR

I've been thinking lately about the scientific method, the techniques used in any scientific discipline to guide discovery and investigation. This method puts an emphasis on collecting empirical data, generating useful and verifiable hypotheses, and performing tests under controlled situations.

Christian Science embodies the same level of scientific rigor. True spiritual healing is based on sound metaphysical principles, is repeatable, and can be practised by anyone willing to learn the methodology. Christianly scientific practice is miles away from emotion, or mere religious faith, or simple guesswork. Our issue this week focuses on how scientific prayer, which results in tangible, reproducible healing, is reliable and practical.
