Faithful readers of Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures are usually very familiar with this question that the author, Mary Baker Eddy, poses: "Would existence without personal friends be to you a blank?
Few questions could equal, in magnitude and in significance to the future of humanity, the one on this week's Sentinel cover: What is Christian Science?
When I first read an article called "Taking Offense," included in Mary Baker Eddy's collection Miscellaneous Writings 1883–1896, this quote from Hannah More startled me: "If I wished to punish my enemy, I should make him hate somebody".
The Christian Science Sentinel was founded in 1898 by Mary Baker Eddy, and its mission remains the same: "to hold guard over Truth, Life, and Love." The Sentinel continues to report on the unlimited ways that the healing power and presence of the Christ activates, uplifts, and transforms the lives of everyday people around the world.
