The Bulletin Board is for gratitude for Christian Science and the Church, as well as timely excerpts from the Bible, the works of Mrs. Eddy, and the early workers that help and encourage. We are very grateful for all posts that conform to these guidelines, but will edit or remove anything that the Practitioners feel is not in complete accord with pure Christian Science or in any way disrespectful of it.

We also ask that you keep your postings as concise as possible. If you quote the Bible, please use The King James Version, as this is what Mrs. Eddy used. Thank you!

I am grateful for the above post, and the reminder that we should never think of ourselves as victims. In addition, whilst considering this story, I was struck this time about the issue of justice. Solomon did not condemn these women for the way they were living, nor require them to have expensive lawyers to represent them before he would consider their case. He knew that justice, wisdom and mercy are spiritual qualities of God, Mind, and thus everywhere present and so available to all. I’m very grateful for this thought, and for all I am learning at Plainfield.
