Contributor's Guidelines: A Christian Science Perspective

Editor: Liz Wallingford

Preferred e-mail(s) for queries: CS Submissions

Overview

This is the column where the theology and practice of Christian Science are discussed in articles that respond to events in the news as well as those that address everyday issues such as companionship, comfort, home, work, relationships, the healing of physical ailments, and dealing with difficult financial times. Articles introduce readers from various backgrounds to the teachings of Christian Science and show how an understanding of God can bring healing to the issues and problems of the day. Authors share how prayer, the study of the Bible, and the writings of Mary Baker Eddy have brought healing to their lives. We look for clear writing that is well thought out and compassionate.
