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!

Thanks for your posts; I saw the same matter based “caring” calling itself Christian Science Nursing. The latter demanded the Spiritual affection you talk about with empathy or compassion to the bedside loving divinely. This way the nurse’s own Divine Love (seeing the patient as an idea of God ) would help uplift the false senses and focus on body for receptivity and replacement with the Truth of Love’s nature and bless.

Once I had a patient tell me it benefits her most when the nurses do more to help her think rightly and love more divinely, than the unbalanced focus on all the material things that had to be so right! And I know she was not lying!
