I've been thinking about disowning some of my genes lately. I have a few healthy, happy, long-living optimists in my family tree - most of them fans of Christian Science founder Mary Baker Eddy, a major champion of positive thinking. But I've got plenty of ancestors who played out more tortured hands.

WHAT DOES CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Christian Science

Christian Science

Christian Science is a set of beliefs and practices belonging to the metaphysical family of new religious movements. It was developed in the United States by Mary Baker Eddy after she experienced what she said was a miraculous recovery from a fall. She subsequently wrote Science and Health, in which she argued that sickness is an illusion that can be corrected by prayer alone. The book became Christian Science's central text along with the Bible, and by 2001 had sold ten million copies in 16 languages. Eddy and 25 followers were granted a charter in 1879 to found the Church of Christ, and in 1894 the Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, was built in Boston, Massachusetts. Eddy's ideas proved popular: during the first decades of the 20th century Christian Science became the fastest growing American religion, with 270,000 members in the United States in 1936. By the 1990s this had declined to just over 100,000; a church estimate in 2008 placed the global membership at 400,000.
