Turning Points In Spiritual Growth October 23, 2017 ISSUE

Progress and healing in my practice of Christian Science

Claire McArthur

I was raised going to the Christian Science Sunday School, and I think it’s fair to say that I have never known a time when I didn’t know Christian Science. I have been healed of numerous problems —from broken bones to being bullied at high school to workplace challenges.

There are two particular turning points, which I still think back on. The first one involved learning to stop focusing on the material picture, the material problem. My very first healing when I remember doing some prayerful work on my own (rather than have my mum pray, as had been the case when I was much younger) was a healing of a wart on one of my fingers. It had become quite unsightly and embarrassing, and I wondered whether I could indeed experience healing on my own.
