Christian
Science is a system of prayer-based healing that is founded on the teachings
of Christ Jesus explained in the textbook "Science and Health,
with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy. It is rooted
and grounded in Jesus' teachings of loving God as supreme above all,
and loving our neighbors as ourselves.
Christian
Science is a powerful method of bringing one's thought and existence
into harmony with the true spiritual self.

"The following
is a brief exposition of the important points, or religious tenets,
of Christian Science: —
1. As adherents
of Truth, we take the inspired Word of the Bible as our sufficient guide
to eternal Life.
2. We acknowledge and adore one supreme and infinite God. We acknowledge
His Son, one Christ; the Holy Ghost or divine Comforter; and man in
God's image and likeness.
3. We acknowledge God's forgiveness of sin in the destruction of sin
and the spiritual understanding that casts out evil as unreal. But the
belief in sin is punished so long as the belief lasts.
4. We acknowledge Jesus' atonement as the evidence of divine, efficacious
Love, unfolding man's unity with God through Christ Jesus the Way-shower;
and we acknowledge that man is saved through Christ, through Truth,
Life, and Love as demonstrated by the Galilean Prophet in healing the
sick and overcoming sin and death.
5. We acknowledge that the crucifixion of Jesus and his resurrection
served to uplift faith to understand eternal Life, even the allness
of Soul, Spirit, and the nothingness of matter.
6. And we solemnly promise to watch, and pray for that Mind to be in
us which was also in Christ Jesus; to do unto others as we would have
them do unto us; and to be merciful, just, and pure. "
