Inspirational Readings
from the First Century of the Christian Science Movement
Background
information is on this page.
What you have below are
selected addresses by authorized teachers of Christian Science, as well
as a few other experienced Christian Scientists, most from before 1960.
Most segments are between 10 and
20 minutes in length. I've broken the talks up this way to
accommodate people's busy lives.
If you need to know where to start, I suggest Bicknell Young's
"Reflection: Man Made God's Image" at the bottom of this page.
To make it easier to choose which
segments of these addresses to listen to
─
or to help you locate something you've heard before
─
I've started writing summaries of each segment. So far, there are
summaries for each segment of all the Kilpatrick addresses, plus two of
Merriman's addresses (click
here).
Also note that the printed
versions of these addresses are available from The Bookmark,
www.thebookmark.com
Latest news: Martha
Wilcox' address of 1941 ("What is War") has compelling insights into how
Christian Scientists can think and pray effectively about war. Not
surprisingly, they seem particularly relevant to the war in Ukraine.
Especially interesting are her ideas about how a Scientist should work
when they are far removed from the actual fighting. You'll find
these ideas in the third segment below.
