About Christian Science
Christian Science was discovered in 1866 by Mary Baker Eddy. The teachings of Christian Science are set forth in her book Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, first published in 1875. This book was the result of a healing of a life-threatening injury, and three years of exclusive Bible study and inspiration by Mrs. Eddy in an effort to understand the healing. The church is headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts. The church in Tyler is a branch of The Mother Church in Boston.
Christian Science is completely unrelated to Scientology, which was introduced in 1952 by L. Ron Hubbard.
Christian Science is based on the teachings and healings of Christ Jesus, and answers Jesus’ call to his followers to “Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils” (Matthew 10:8). We have no personal pastors. Our Pastor is the Bible and Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, and our Sunday church services consist of readings from these books, hymns, an inspirational vocal solo, praying the Lord's Prayer with Spiritual Interpretation, and announcements.
Christian Science teaches healing of body and mind by realization of our oneness with our Father- Mother God and our completely spiritual nature, which was the way that Christ Jesus taught and performed his wonderful healing works. Mrs. Eddy was also a prodigious healer in her own right, and taught others the principles used in this healing as reliable Science, not a dispensation by God to very few chosen people. Thousands of authenticated healings by and of Christian Scientists have been recorded in the monthly Christian Science Journal and the weekly Christian Science Sentinel magazines, available in our public Reading Room. These bear testimony to the efficacy of Mrs. Eddy's discovery, and the appropriateness of the term "Science" in the name of our religion.
