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!

Thank you. Mrs. Eddy once wrote to a student “Love is a powerful spiritual force.” The emphasis on divine love in all her writings, and in the Bible, is for a reason. I remember years ago, we once had a member who was offended when Mrs. Evans stated that women were generally more spiritually minded than men. He didn’t last very long as a member of the church.
This helps explain why those cultures in which “male” chauvinism is prevalent (Islam, Roman Catholicism, etc.) are the poorest, most ignorant and tyrannical. In contrast, those societies in which women have equal rights generally experience the greatest progress and stability.
