What is a Christian Science practitioner?
Originally published in the 1978 pamphlet “What is a Christian Science practitioner?”
Anyone who aims to put into practice God’s law of harmony has, in a sense, something in common with a Christian Science practitioner. The practice of Christian Science healing starts from the biblical basis that God created the universe and man and made them perfect. Reasoning from this basis, Christian Scientists prayerfully work to bring their lives in every way into accord with God’s law of love. As a result, discord, disease, and other evidences of evil are destroyed, and healing occurs.
Prayerful treatment based on scientific, spiritual interpretation of the Lord’s Prayer is effective in healing all kinds of discord. It helps not only the one who prays but others as well, as Christ Jesus showed when he healed the multitudes. He said, “He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also” (John 14:12). Christian Scientists accept this statement and follow his example to the extent that their present understanding allows.
