Christian Science Nursing

Christian Science nursing is a healing ministry grounded in the Bible and the teachings of Christian Science, as set forth in the writings of Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science. It is an activity defined by the Manual of The Mother Church.

Christian Science Nurse. SECT. 31. A member of The Mother Church who represents himself or herself as a Christian Science nurse shall be one who has a demonstrable knowledge of Christian Science practice, who thoroughly understands the practical wisdom necessary in a sick room, and who can take proper care of the sick. The cards of such persons may be inserted in The Christian Science Journal under rules established by the publishers. (Manual, 49).

The program begins with the Spiritual Dimension of Care seminar, which introduces candidates to Christian Science nursing as a Manual-based activity grounded in the Bible and the theology of Christian Science as taught by Mary Baker Eddy.
