The Christ-mission Leave a comment
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
(The Bible KJV – John 14: 12)
Jesus established his church and maintained his mission on a spiritual foundation of Christ-healing. He taught his followers that his religion had a divine Principle, which would cast out error and heal both the sick and the sinning.
(Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy p136)

In this podcast John talks about how a new hobby of his – learning magic card tricks – gave him an insight into how spiritual healing happens. He explains that he leaned that in card tricks the audience believes they see something that wasn’t there or didn’t happen because they become distracted from the truth of what is happening by the performance. Healing in Christian Science is not magic but when we are distracted by an inharmonious situation we are blinded to the truth of what is really happening. Being alert to the distraction and focussing on the spiritual truth allows us to experience the true harmony of any situation. In this interview John explains this fully and gives examples of his own healings.
It is God That Heals Leave a comment
This recording is of the Wednesday Testimony Meeting readings on the topic of God as the only healer. The readings are from the Bible (KJV) and the textbook of Christian Science, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, by Mary Baker Eddy.
.
The physical healing of Christian Science results now, as in Jesus’ time, from the operation of divine Principle, before which sin and disease lose their reality in human consciousness and disappear as naturally and as necessarily as darkness gives place to light and sin to reformation. Now, as then, these mighty works are not supernatural, but supremely natural.
(Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy pxi: 9)
Lessons from a Wasp Leave a comment
An article by a member of the Canberra Christian Science community (alternatively titled: Practice is essential) which was published in the 6 October 2025 issue of the Christian Science Sentinel.
I was walking across the lawn at the front of our house, enjoying the cool, squishy feeling of the grass under my bare feet, when suddenly there was an agonizing burning in my left foot. I live in Australia, where there are many things that bite and sting, and a pain of that magnitude is not a good thing. I spun around, looked down, and saw that I had been stung by a large wasp.
An often-used expression in Christian Science is “Know the truth.” It comes from Christ Jesus’ instruction “Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free” (John 8:32). Immediately, I did so, and as quickly as the first truthful, healing thought came, the pain left. There was no evidence of a sting, and I had no further reaction to it.
So what does knowing the truth really entail, and how can we be instant in our knowing of this truth that heals and protects?
As you can imagine, I was really grateful for the instantaneous nature of this healing. But healings are also wonderful learning experiences. Instead of thinking, “Wow! I’m glad that awful situation has passed,” I value how healings can help me to learn more about the law of God, divine Love, which governs me and all situations. I stop and think, “What worked there? Where was my thinking—was it on God or on the situation itself? What can I learn from this that will help me to be a more effective healer?”
I learned two lessons from this incident with the wasp. … Click here to read the full article: Practice is essential

If God really is all good and omnipresent, then where did evil come from and how can it exist?
Defeating Fevers and Contagion Leave a comment
These readings are from a Wednesday Testimony Meeting in Canberra. They are on the topic of: Treating Fevers, Contagion, Colds and Flu.

Christ comes again with holy power,
To lift our blinded eyes to see;
The sick are healed, the sinner blest,
As on that eve in Galilee.

Skin Cancer Disappears Leave a comment
A member of the Christian Science community in Canberra offered this proof of the healing power of prayer.
In 2017 a sore appeared on my forehead and would not heal. Sometimes it was soft and moist and other times hard and scaly.
I became concerned because of all the discussion in the media and more generally about skin cancer.
I’ve had many healings by praying as I’ve been taught in Christian Science and wanted to rely on prayer for healing in this case.
In the Christian Science textbook Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, she writes on page 476 When speaking of God’s children, not the children of men, Jesus said, “The kingdom of God is within you;” that is, Truth and Love reign in the real man, showing that man in God’s image is unfallen and eternal. Jesus beheld in Science the perfect man, who appeared to him where sinning mortal man appears to mortals. In this perfect man the Saviour saw God’s own likeness, and this correct view of man healed the sick. Thus Jesus taught that the kingdom of God is intact, universal, and that man is pure and holy.
I prayed to get a better understanding of this perfect man and his purity and holiness. However, the idea kept coming to me that I also needed to read Science and Health from cover to cover, as many people have been healed by doing this. I kept praying, but delaying reading Science and Health and the sore did not heal.
During a 2023 holiday in South Africa, I decided that I needed to have this sore seen to. So, when I returned to Canberra I went to see a doctor. The doctor said it was a skin cancer and needed to be cut out, and because of the position on my forehead I would need plastic surgery. I decided that I did not want to go down this path but wanted a healing through prayer, so I began to read Science and Health, and sometime in early 2024 the sore disappeared.
I’m very grateful for this healing and to Mary Baker Eddy for Science and Health and this wonderful healing religion – Christian Science.
