The Higher Education of Spiritual Understanding
The Higher Education of Spiritual Understanding
“Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.”
(Prov. 22:6)
The purpose of all true educational endeavors is the displacing of ignorance and its limitations with intelligence and its liberating light.
(W. Stuart Booth, Christian Science Sentinel, Higher Education, September 7, 1935)
Education shouldn’t stop after graduation. And the most important type of education is spiritual education. The highest type of education available - the most important, and the most practical.
The Bible is your most important textbook.
Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy is your second most important textbook.
These two books together are the pastor for our church. Every Sunday at 10 am you can hear a sermon from this pastor, filled with life lessons. But you don’t have to wait for Sunday. You can read and study these textbooks all week long! On Wednesday evenings, at 7:30 pm, you can learn how local church members are applying what they are learning in these books.
Weekly Christian Science Sentinel Magazine
Every week, a new magazine is published which includes articles on how a spiritual education frees us from limitations and ignorance and brings the light of God more directly into our lives. This magazine also includes descriptions of healings that have been brought about by the study and practice of the Science of Christianity.
