Participants’ Comments

The classroom instruction was so uplifting and rich. The study was demanding, but necessary and so useful. The instructors are gifted, inspiring, kind, gentle, and yet clear and firm with the instruction, when appropriate. I would absolutely recommend Christian Science Nursing Arts training.”

Turning to the Church Manual By-law “Christian Science Nurse” again and again made clear the wonderful provision and vision Mrs. Eddy had for humanity and for Christian Science nursing. My identity as a Christian Science nurse has deepened and made more available in my daily life, as well.”

I couldn’t be more grateful for what I know is proving to be a strong foundation for me as a Christian Science nurse.”

The class was extremely helpful to my Christian Science nursing practice. It brought much definition to my thought about Christian Science nursing. I have a greater understanding of the charge involved in the work and am most grateful for the practical skills taught, as well.”

The class was so inspiring and humbling. I’ve gained a deeper love and devotion to the movement of Christian Science.”

The class helped me lay more of a purely metaphysical foundation as I am furthering my practice in the Christian Science nursing ministry. I am so grateful the course is available so that I could strengthen the art of nursing in a skilled manner while reflecting all that Mrs. Eddy calls for in a Christian Science nurse – practical, compassionate care for my fellow-man with all the love I know and can express toward them.”

I can’t express enough gratitude for my experience taking the CSNA III course here at the BA. I felt like I learned and grew tremendously throughout the class, and I thoroughly enjoyed the focus and need to turn continuously to the books,The Holy Bible and Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, throughout. My experience has made a lasting impression on me.”

From start to finish, this class emphasized the importance of a thinking practice of Christian Science nursing based on sound judgment and sound assessments – all stemming from our metaphysical preparation. The class made me really think deeply about how to respond to a variety of care needs and how to be flexible and adaptable in approaching different situations.”

The class was a transformative experience. There was not a moment wasted in class. All of my questions were answered clearly. The material was presented in a way that ensured my understanding of it. The instructors lead by example. It was also very humbling.”

I realized the very sacred and important role of the Christian Science nurse in the healing ministry; I used to think only of Christian Science practitioners. Now I know both have equal, but distinct roles. I learned that every expression of care always has a spiritual basis when ethics and Christian Science nursing arts are practiced. This training is an avenue for spiritual enrichment.”

“ I am so grateful for the opportunity we were given to learn to go higher and deeper in our understanding of the ethics, arts, and skills necessary for a genuine Christian Science nursing ministry when caring for mothers and babies. To ‘work, work, work, watch and pray’ for the clear metaphysical thought and tender touch. What a privilege! Thank you, CHBA.”

I had a wonderful experience! I am so grateful for the tender, compassionate, loving embrace of the instructors throughout the class, and the safe haven created to ask questions. It is always such a joy to come to class and I look forward to my next visit!!”

This class spurred me to a deeper reverence for Christian Science, Christian Scientists, and Christian Science nursing. Everyday there were moments of taking off my mental sandals as I saw more of the holy ground of this healing work. The class was fun. It was taught with humor and deep commitment to the teaching of our pastor as the only foundation upon which to lean. The practical skills and information that were taught and shared from experience will be so helpful in my future Christian Science nursing opportunities with mothers and infants.”
