Corruption-free
A recent survey by the anti-corruption watchdog group Transparency International showed there is rising resentment worldwide against corruption. Two out of three people in the survey said ordinary people can make a difference in curbing corruption; in fact, they emphasized that “people power” is more effective than government and organizational initiatives in fighting corruption.
In light of what Christian Science teaches about our innate purity as the children of God, it’s significant that resistance to corruption is developing on an individual, rather than an institutional basis. Why? Because individual effort is both the necessity and assurance of spiritual progress and victory. Integrity and purity prevail as we give our individual consent and commitment to them.
