I have been thinking about Peter
Henniker-Heaton. A remarkable man, who was healed after having been bed-ridden
for ten years. He went on to work for the Christian Science movement in
an editorial capacity at The Christian Science Monitor and then as Associate Editor of the
periodicals.
Near the end of our book
there is a poem quoted as having been read at the close of the TV series ”How
Christian Science Heals.” The poem is titled “Easter Certainty” and was
printed in The Christian Science Journal, but no author is credited.
Our wonderful JSH-Online.com brought me easily to the poem. It was written by none other than Peter
Henniker-Heaton. (Ed.: See the April 1949 edition of The Christian Science Journal or follow the link: http://journal.christianscience.com/issues/1949/4/67-4/easter-certainty)
All of this makes me wonder
if Peter had some input into the compilation of A Century of Christian Science
Healing, considering his editorial expertise and the fact that his name is
not attached to the poem.
What a great time I have had
with this book. Thank you Christian Science Reading Room Redcliffe, for choosing it for the book club.
