About

If you’re a member of the media or the legislature in New Mexico and you are seeking accurate information about Christian Science, look no further. My office is here to respond to your interview requests and to answer any and all of your questions about Christian Science, The Church of Christ, Scientist or its Founder, Mary Baker Eddy.

My role as the “Committee on Publication” for New Mexico is to educate the media, legislators and others about Christian Science. I also work with legislators to find ways to accommodate spiritual healing within the law and to provide accurate information to our  congregations so that they can make wise decisions  on how to practice Christian Science within the laws of the State of NM . If you need information about any of the statewide Churches and Societies, feel free to call us or follow this link to an on-line directory.

About This Blog

The purpose of this blog is to share ideas and honest opinions regarding Christian Science as it relates to issues of health and the influence of thought on our health and well-being.   It is also a means to provide factual responses when reporters are seeking information or when incorrect statements about Christian Science are presented in the media or other public forums.

I welcome the opportunity to share in conversations about the topics closest to my heart – God, the importance of and many avenues for healing in our lives, Christ Jesus and his teachings, the practical role of Christianity today, and the study and practice of Christian Science. I’m not interested in converting or being converted, but rather in informing and sharing ideas with those who are also seeking to better understand the nature of a loving God and the healing power of the Christ.

I welcome your comments and questions and hope you’ll be in touch soon.
