I like what Emma Shipman
wrote about being a student in Mrs. Eddy’s last class of 1989:
“Her teaching made me see what I had not gasped before,
that Christian Science cannot be attained through the intellect, but that it
must be interpreted through the purified affections and is learned only as we
live it.” Page 509.
Perhaps Christian Science can be likened to the learning of
mathematics – We start with simple sums and the rules get impressive results
when applied correctly, but as we master those, our teachers move us on to
harder ones. Christian Science is Science, and like any science one must
learn and practise and learn the vocabulary.
