Christian Science Religion
A Christian denomination founded in 1879 in Boston, MA, by
Mary Baker Eddy. It promotes spiritual healing, that sickness
and matter is not real, and that one should avoid medical
help. The life expectancy of Christian Scientists appears
to be significantly shorter than for the general population.
The Church of Christ, Scientist, often known as The Christian
Science Church, is a Protestant Christian denomination, founded
by Mary Baker Eddy in 1879. The Bible and Mrs. Eddy's book
Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures are together
the church's key doctrinal sources. (wikipedia)
Christian Science is small denomination that teaches that
Christian healing as practiced by Jesus of Nazareth and his
followers for several centuries after him, was in fact not
a short-term dispensation to induce faith but had an underlying
principle (specifically God) and method. While its practice
is regarded within the denomination as incompatible with medical
care, it also respects the philanthropy of the medical faculty
and is uncondemningly non-compulsory. (goldbamboo)
