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, both!

In studying the lessons, I have started taking time to restate parts of the lesson each week, to make sure I am really getting it. Often after reading the Forum posts, or taking part in the Bible Study or Roundtable, I find I need to reword some of them.

So for my restatement of “For we walk by faith, not by sight” I had written, “The path forward is lit by Truth, Life, and Love; not by material means.” But now, with your comments, I have added, “It is discerned by spiritual sense alone; and not our eyes.” An important addition, to be sure!

I am so grateful for all I am learning here. So wonderful to start understanding the difference between the real and unreal, the mortal and immortal, and the human and divine. Thank you!
