Although I grew up in a Christian Science Sunday School and had wonderful healings of childhood diseases through the prayers of my mother and a devoted Christian Science practitioner, it wasn’t until I was healed of a serious physical problem as an adult that I stood in awe of the power of the Word of God as revealed to Mary Baker Eddy.
When my Christian Science teacher accepted my application for Primary class instruction, I thought I was about to take an academic and intellectual course, where I would be informed of the teacher’s opinions and various hypotheses propounded by scholars.
When my husband and I each had applied to the same Christian Science teacher to take Primary class instruction in Christian Science, neither of us knew of the other’s application.
I had been raised in Christian Science, but when I was in college, I heard several talks by a Christian Science lecturer that impelled me to dig more deeply into my study and practice of it.
When I went through Primary class instruction in Christian Science, I was really striving to understand how to apply the healing power of God’s love and was deeply committed to learning more about man’s relationship to God.
