Another thing I love about Christian Science: its ideas always seem to be at the cutting edge of so many different fields - from organizational leadership to healthcare to many different fields of science and more. Mary Baker Eddy has an article on Christian Science in her book Miscellaneous Writings. She makes this point:
This age is reaching out towards the perfect Principle of things; is pushing towards perfection in art, invention, and manufacture. Why, then, should religion be stereotyped, and we not obtain a more perfect and practical Christianity?
It will never do to be behind the times in things most essential, which proceed from the standard of right that regulates human destiny. Human skill but foreshadows what is next to appear as its divine origin.Proportionately as we part with material systems and theories, personal doctrines and dogmas, meekly to ascend the hill of Science, shall we reach the maximum of perfection in all things.
I picked up this website today which seems to illustrate this "reaching out towards the perfect Principle of things." The site is called TED.com which stands for Technology, Entertainment and Design, and is a collection of inspired talks by the world's greatest thinkers and doers.
Click onto it and enjoy! And let me know what talks you find edgy and innovative.
