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!

Dummelow’s Commentary gives the following explanation of the ‘unknown gods,’ Acts 17:23; In Athens during a plague, Epimenides let loose black and white sheep and commanded the Athenians (who had many gods) to sacrifice to ‘the proper god’ wherever a sheep lay down. If they couldn’t figure out ‘the proper god,’ (where the ‘stray’ sheep lay down) an alter was raised to ‘the unknown god.’ Amazing that centuries later and with the teachings of Christ Jesus and Mary Baker Eddy in Christian Science leading to so many God given demonstrations of moral and physical healing, people still choose to worship ‘unknown gods.’
