Search: healing

The hunger for all things true has been the heart of my search, quest, and practice of Christian Science healing. I have found no other teaching that gets to the crux of it:  Why Christ Jesus was so confident that we too could and would follow in his footsteps.

Growing up in a family that loved and practiced Christian Science, Ann saw how God heals sickness and relationship problems, meets financial needs, solves business issues, and answers life’s questions. In the Christian Science Sunday School, Ann learned to rely upon the healing ideas in the Bible, as explained in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, by Mary Baker Eddy.

From an early age, I felt a deep love for Christian Science. I remember eagerly counting the days until my twelfth birthday so I could join The Mother Church, and by fifteen I already knew that being a practitioner was the path I wanted to follow.

Although a life-long Christian Scientist, I didn’t embrace it fully until I had to deal with a number of challenges in college. After graduation, I was accepted into The Mother Church chaplain training program, attended seminary, and had a variety of assignments in the Army, including military prisons, hospitals, and a tour of duty in Vietnam. The public practice of healing naturally evolved and I became listed in the Journal in 1976. After completing active duty, my wife and I moved to California, where we raised two sons.

Christian Science healing. I love those words! In my teen years, I suffered from a skin condition that would come and go. During this time I studied Christian Science deeply.
