Reading Room
What are Christian Science Reading Rooms?
Reading Rooms function like community bookstores and drop-in centers for the exploration of spiritual healing, prayer, and spirituality.
Every Church of Christ, Scientist, maintains a Reading Room where people are welcome to browse or purchase a wide variety of publications, Bible-related materials, and all of Mary Baker Eddy’s writings. Reading Rooms also host special events and talks for the community.
A Christian Science Reading Room is part of YOUR community and serves your community as a whole. While under the umbrella of Christian Science, its doors are open to all who seek respite of any nature, or who may be simply curious!
Offered here is the opportunity for individual study.
Interested in world events?
The internationally acclaimed Christian Science Monitor is at your fingertips.
Is there some dilemma of thought?
There are magazines with articles dealing with all the modern-day issues that confront society.
Are you curious about Christian Science?
There are books that will answer all your questions, and loving staff who will help you find what you need.
Do you just need a quiet, impersonal place for meditation?
