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 for these posts. It is such an important point to understand that in order to love we must first feel that love. So many prisons are full of people who have never felt loved. And yet that love – the Love of God is freely given and available to all. This is why we pray and watch – so that all may feel the great Love of our Father-Mother God. This also relates to Parthens utube post this week. How much love do we express to each other – even the simple power of a warm and loving embrace?
“Ask God to give thee skill
In comfort’s art:
That thou may’st be
And set apart
Unto a life of sympathy.
For heavy is the weight of ill
In every heart;
And comforters are needed much
Of Christ-like touch.”
-A.E.Hamilton (Retrospection and Introspection page 95)
