Be a fact-checker

Like mathematical principles, the truths of spiritual being articulated in Christian Science writings are provable.

Kent Garland MacKay

My first job after college was fact-checking in the copy-editing department of a women’s magazine. I had to verify that the dates, addresses, names, and events in each article were correct. These facts were often crucial to the substance of a story.

Facts are even more important in a science, such as astronomy or geology. The Science of Christianity, discovered by a 19th-century seeker of truth, Mary Baker Eddy, includes what she calls “the spiritual facts of being” (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p. 312).
