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 so much for your post. This is one of the most important things I have learned, but only after coming to Plainfield. Growing up in the C.S. church, I found a lot of immoral activity as being accepted as OK, and I fell into the same. As unbelievable as it sounds to me today, I had little guidance about morality by the C.S. adults around me, and so I suffered dearly for it. Of course my wishy-washy view of morality got me nowhere.

The Plainfield Church teaching set me straight–and I have found the greatest happiness in the moral freedom of the ‘straight and narrow way’! That same ‘straight and narrow way’ that I thought would “shackle” me, has brought me out of the constant unsettled feeling of my former ways. I am also very grateful for this moral freedom!
