Reading Room
A Christian Science Reading Room is open to the public and provides a quiet environment set apart exclusively for the study of the Bible and the Writings of Mary Baker Eddy, the Discover and Founder of Christian Science. Through this study you can learn to pray and to heal as Christ Jesus (and the prophets and apostles) did. For every human problem, whether related to health, employment, relationships, etc., there is a spiritual law, which, when understood and applied, can heal it.
Reading Room Librarians are available to answer questions, to guide you to helpful periodicals and reference materials, and to show you how to read and study the Weekly Bible Lesson.
Who is it for?
A Christian Science Reading Room is a sanctuary where you can study and refresh yourself spiritually, through prayer deeply rooted in the revelations of truth found in the Holy Bible and in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy. These two books are the only "preachers" in a Christian Science Church.
Literature from The Christian Science Publishing Society (including The Christian Science Monitor), as well as being available for reading on the premises, is also available for purchase. .
Who provides it?
This Reading Room, located at 22 East 44th Street is provided and maintained by Fifth Church of Christ, Scientist, NYC, a branch of The First Church of Christ, Scientist in Boston, Massachusetts.
This is a church, in the words of its Founder, "designed to commemorate the word and works of our Master, which should reinstate primitive {1st Century} Christianity and its lost element of healing."
What can you gain?
Learn your true relationship with God, our Father-Mother. Commune with God in this quiet sanctuary, away from the clamor of the world and find spiritual fulfillment and peace.
"Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you:
not as the world giveth, give I unto you.
Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."
John 14:27
