A new look at Robert Peel

In our recent study of Mary Baker Eddy: The Years of Discovery, we have just had two months of Robert Peel's working primarily with Principle.

But, there is an article published in The Christian Science Journal of December 1962 which has him working with Love -- such a different tone.  Hear this: 

"Love and delight are intimately related. To love anything is to delight in it. Pure love includes pure delight. Such delight is an upwelling satisfaction, an inexhaustible happiness, an overflowing assurance of good.

"It is the nature of divine Love to delight in its infinite spiritual creation."

I invite readers of this blog to investigate this different and delightful side of our author -- at THE MOTHERHOOD OF GOD.

Love youse all,

Joyce Voysey

Ed. - note 1: 

My favourite passage from Peel's article on Motherhood is this one: 

"At last, in the fullness of time, the Comforter came. On the prepared and receptive thought of one spiritually-minded woman dawned the earth-shaking fact that man is not the child of a Father God, who is Spirit, and a mother earth, which is matter, but that Spirit is both Father and Mother, the sole source and condition of man, his Life, his Principle, his All."

Ed. - note 2:

Readers will also be interested in a half-hour discussion about Peel's re-issued masterwork and about the author himself, presented by The Mary Baker Eddy Library. Among the panel members is Dr. Ryan Vigil, Manager of General Publications at The Christian Science Publishing Society.

Thank you so much, Julie for the prompt about that talk. Loved it.
So good to hear something of Ryan Virgil's work.
