Learning about Mary Baker Eddy helped me have a healing
I was so excited when my middle school history teacher gave us an assignment to create exhibits for a National History Day competition.
One of the first topics that came to mind was Mary Baker Eddy. As a Christian Scientist, I had always been inspired by her, but until I began to study her life for this project, I wasn’t aware of some of her accomplishments. Learning about her even helped me have a healing.
Mrs. Eddy founded a religion, a college, a church, several magazines, and a newspaper at a time when women weren’t really doing things like that. She also wrote a bestselling book called Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures that heals people! Despite criticism and opposition, Mrs. Eddy was able to stay true to what she believed in, which was her understanding that God is completely good. I learned even more about this when I attended this past year’s Annual Meeting of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston.
