Emra Farkas, practitioner of Christian Science healing and international speaker, will present her talk, “Finding where God is seen and felt – what’s church got to do with it?” on Thursday, April 4, at 7 p.m. at the Christian Science Church, 612 McCallie Ave.
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, open to the community, and hosted by First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Chattanooga.
“A new kind of thinking is needed to recognize that God’s goodness and love are actually here and tangible to all humanity everywhere,” said Ms. Farkas. “The idea of ‘church’ can shift from being a physical building, a set time on a particular day, or an assembly of perfect humans (does that even exist?), to that of being what God builds in our lives every moment through us responding to Christ Jesus’ message of God’s all-powerful love.”
Sharing examples of healing from her own life and professional practice of Christian Science, Ms. Farkas 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.
