Cause and Effect

Beginning where God begins - with good

Mark McCurties, practitioner of Christian Science healing and international speaker, will present his talk, "The Joy of Beginning with God," on Thursday, May 30, 2024 at 7:30 pm at First Church of Christ Scientist, Glen Arbor.
‍
The talk will focus on universal healing precepts found in the Holy Bible, especially in Christ Jesus’ life and teachings, showing how they are available for anyone to understand and experience through the lens of Christian Science. The talk is free and open to the community.
‍
“The world is talking nonstop right now about causation: what causes disease, inflation, crime, natural disasters? Could we ask a different question: What is God causing?” asks Mr. McCurties. “The Bible promises that God causes good. As loved children of God, we all have a right to experience all that good that God causes, including finding solutions to the problems we face.” 
‍
Sharing examples of healing from his own life and professional practice of Christian Science, Mr. McCurties will explain why Christian Science is both Christian and scientific, meaning that people can prove its effectiveness for themselves, as fully described in the book Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, written by the founder of the Christian Science movement, Mary Baker Eddy.
‍
Mr. McCurties will also touch on the life of Mary Baker Eddy, who came to understand, confirm, and teach what she felt was original Christian healing. Mrs. Eddy herself said she was especially inspired by Jesus’ demand, “He that believes on me, the works that I do will he do also; and greater works than these will he do, because I go unto my Father” (found in the Gospel of John 14:12 in the Bible). 
‍
For over 150 years, people around the world have worked to follow Christ Jesus in this practice of Christianity and continue to do so today, experiencing healings of physical ills and personal difficulties.

Mark McCurties has been a Christian Science practitioner for many years, helping people on a daily basis through this scientific approach to prayer. He travels from his home base in Ann Arbor, Michigan, to speak to audiences around the world as a member of the Christian Science Board of Lectureship
