Peter Henniker-Heaton

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.
