Have you ever thought about God as goodness? And God’s creation, including you and everyone else, as a natural extension of that goodness? There is a direct connection between this foundational way of viewing the world and the idea of church. This lecture discusses the role of church—not just as a building or place, but as a new kind of thinking that reveals God’s goodness for you and everyone around you.

The Science of Christianity challenges conventional views of prayer, presenting it not as blind faith, but as a scientific understanding of God’s ever-present love. Drawing from Jesus’ teachings in the Bible, as well as personal experiences practicing Christian Science, Emra illustrates how prayer can bring tangible healing and transformation.

Openness to our divine nature replaces limited beliefs with spiritual understanding. Cultivating our spiritual view–true vision–enables good to unfold in unexpected ways.

We hear everywhere of the challenges of this moment. Civil chaos, mental health issues and climate or pandemic-related social and economic worries dominate the news.

Lecture description forthcoming.

It may seem that some don’t have what they need, while others thrive. By seeking a better understanding of God as the infinite, impartial Father and Mother of all, we can see ourselves and others as God's beloved and valued children.

God has our best interests in mind. It’s natural to turn to God for guidance immediately when a problem arises and find answers– just as Jesus did and taught others to do.

When we don’t feel freedom, whether our bodies feel constrained, or our thoughts seem out of control, is it because of some outside power or cause? Or is it that the forms of imprisonment we face are mental—the result of false beliefs, fears, and ignorance about God and God’s creation. Christian Science shows how an understanding of the mental nature of any challenge we face enables us to overcome, through God’s power, all forms of imprisonment, including fear, sickness, confusion, injustices, etc.

Science and Christianity might seem to be incompatible, but in fact they underpinned the teachings and healing ministry of Christ Jesus. The Science of Christianity teaches us about God, Love, in a new way—a way that helps us more clearly understand the truth about ourselves and about God.

Effective prayer is more than thinking good thoughts, or begging a far off God to intervene, it is a recognition of the transforming power of God’s law in our lives. Jesus provided strong examples of what prayer can do, and expected his followers for centuries to come to do the same.
