We hear everywhere of the challenges of this moment. Civil chaos, mental health issues and climate or pandemic-related social and economic worries dominate the news. Some are asking, “Is there a lasting, healing solution to these challenges?”
As far back as Biblical times and during Jesus’ ministry these have been issues of concern–and practical transformative prayer brought healing. This lecture will share through modern and Biblical examples why it is realistic to have a trusting expectation of good. It discusses ideas from the unique perspective Christian Science brings–a Science based on divine laws of good.

About Alison:
Growing up going to the Christian Science Sunday School, surrounded by a family actively living the teachings of Christian Science, Alison and her siblings had quick healings of the usual childhood scrapes and illnesses. Her grandmother was a Christian Science practitioner for many years and so from a young age she felt that studying the Bible and Mary Baker Eddy’s book, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, brought practical transformative results.
She found getting to know God better and her relationship with the Divine naturally resulted in praying for and with others. She started receiving requests to pray for others while she was still leading her professional career, first in property (real estate) and then university-based adult education. Eventually, she became a full-time Christian Science practitioner.
She’s increasingly found each step of her career and spiritual journey has opened up new views of how God’s loving care for each one of us provides hope for our world today.
