Our Father-Mother God

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!

    The citation from our lesson this week which reads “Father-Mother is the name for Diety, which indicates His (Her)tender relationship to His spiritual creation.” brought to mind a paragraph from Twelve Years with Mary Baker Eddy by Irving Tomlinson. He writes “The first day’s teaching on the subject of Love she (Mrs. Eddy) concluded somewhat as follows: ‘Love is the Father, who is strong in His care for His children and provides for every need. Love feeds, clothes, and shelters every one of His dear ones. Love is a Mother tenderly brooding over all Her children. This Mother guards each one from harm, nourishes, holds close to Herself, and carefully leads along the upward way. Love is a Shepard who goes forth into the darkness of the night , into the storm and wind, to find the lost sheep. This Shepard of Love leaves the beaten path, searches the wood and marsh, pushes aside the brambles, and seeks until the lost is found; then He places it within His bosom and returns to heal and restore.'” How reassuring to know that we are ever with our Father-Mother God and He, She is always caring for us, especially when there seems to be so much fear and worry about the future.
