The Church of Christ, Scientist is a Christian denomination founded in the late 19th century by Mary Baker Eddy. It emphasizes spiritual healing and the study of the Bible, particularly the teachings of Jesus Christ. The church's core text is Eddy's book, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, which outlines its beliefs and practices. Members of the Church believe that understanding God and spiritual laws can lead to healing and well-being. They practice Christian Science healing, which involves prayer and a deep understanding of spiritual truths rather than conventional medical treatments. The church also promotes community and spiritual growth through services and study groups.
