What is Christian Science?
Christian Science is based on the teachings and healing practice of Christ Jesus. It was discovered and founded by Mary Baker Eddy in 1866. Christian Science teaches us that an understanding of God’s omnipotence and omnipresence can give us dominion over fear, evil, and hatred— and how this heals us, protects us, and allows us to live our lives more peacefully and fully.
