Public Talks about Christian Science

Anne Melville CSB gave a public talk here on 27 August 2023, where she spoke about “Love: A law of good always in effect.”

She said, “Even within difficult daily experiences or news headlines about community and world concerns, we see expressions of love and kindness making a difference. More than chance occurrences, these examples of goodness point to a deeper truth: that there is an overarching influence for good at work. One might even call that influence divine Love.”

And she went on to say, “Divine Love isn’t fickle or variable. It’s the steady governing force of good, and we can prove its power.”

Sharing examples of healing from her own life and professional practice of Christian Science, Anne explained why Christian Science is both Christian and scientific, meaning that people can prove its effectiveness for themselves, as fully described in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures.

You can view an earlier recording of her talk on Talks That Change Lives.

You might also like to view a talk for people new to Christian Science and delivered in December 2021 . . . Never Alone: How Spiritual Ideas Work in Us. Lecturer, Melanie Wahlberg, CS, tells how ideas from God, rooted in the spirituality that makes up our true nature, stir something new in our consciousness. They uplift our outlook — sometimes before we even realize — in ways that change our lives and our health for the better.

During the lecture, she refers to God as divine Love or Mind, rather than as a superhuman figure making arbitrary decisions about our lives. This divine Mind is the infinite, loving source of all good, timeless ideas. God’s thoughts remind us of our spiritual identity, show us our potential, and enable us to heal and to be healed.

 

TWO PUBLIC TALKS

During late April / May 2019 there were several opportunities to hear a free public talk about Christian Science crafted specifically for the newcomer. Michelle Nanouche, a practitioner, teacher and lecturer on Christian Science with over 30 years professional healing experience, shared insights from personal experience. You can review the lectures she gave in Australia – Angry No More, Finding God, Finding Health and Christian Science: What it is and how it heals –  on her blog. If you’d like to talk to a local Christian Scientist about the lectures you can call at or phone the Reading Room during opening hours or Kay Stroud on 0400 49 44 06 at other times.

Public Lectures

Every year, we offer at least one public talk about Christian Science and spiritual healing for our community. Our next public lecture will be on Sunday 5 December 2021, but you can see and hear inspirational talks on consciousness, prayer and spiritual healing by speakers from the international Christian Science Board of Lectureship at any time by following this link: LECTURES ONLINE.

Interfaith / Ecumenical Participation

Church members are involved in interfaith and ecumenical activities in this region, in Brisbane and nationally. We’d love to hear of other opportunities to share in this way.
