Christian Science Church Unveils New Website

BOSTON, Jan. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- The First Church of Christ, Scientist announced today the launch of www.christianscience.com. At the heart of this new Web site is a collection of video clips in which people share their personal experiences in Christian Science. The public will hear first-hand accounts of people who are living Christian Science, and how their prayers have healed them and others.

"People hear about Christian Scientists relying on prayer for healing, but what does that really mean?" said Tom Black, speaking on behalf of The Christian Science Board of Directors. "It is good to know that people who rely on the Web for information have a place where they can hear about Christian Science healing directly from those who have experienced it."

Christianscience.com makes it easy for the public to get accurate information about Christian Science and Church activities. The Church expects this will clear up some of the common misconceptions about Christian Science, such as:

    -- Why Christian Scientists choose to rely on prayer for healing,
    -- That Christian Science is not Scientology, and
    -- That Christian Science is a Christian, Bible-based religion, not a
       cult.

This is part of a long-term plan to develop a family of Web sites, and interested individuals should return from time to time to explore further.

The site includes a section designed specifically for the media, accessible by clicking on the "media inquiries" link.
