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!

Mrs Eddy talks a lot about progress and growth, however she is not referring to material growth, she is referring to how well we demonstrate the reality of God with us.

The journey of CS cannot be measured in months or years and we should not look to material mechanisms to measure it. I believe progress is marked by how well we demonstrate faith, not how well we measure it.

This idea of a journey cannot be used as a declaration of healing having taken place or not. We cant rely on human measurement to tell us anything.

Mrs Eddy often said that she sensed healing long before it appeared on the body and her patients sometimes scorned her because they couldnt sense it.

The journey in cs is the journey through the wonderful chasms of Love, like a fish swimming in the deepest ocean.


Love is the liberator.
