Housing

Moving many times in her life, Mary Baker Eddy had a deep love for home — both as a place and as an idea. In her writings, words she associates with “home” include: heaven, peace, the interchange of love, pure humanity, an open hand, heavenly rest.

As a Christian Scientist, specific things one might consider about home and housing may include:

• Is the atmosphere uplifting and the environment conducive to prayer and spiritual growth?
• Is it located near a church and/or other Christian Scientists?
• How easily can you access online Christian Science resources —  lectures, periodicals, podcasts, or church services?

Because there are so many ways home can be expressed, this section identifies a number of options to consider: living on your own, with family, with a housemate, or in a community. Within each option are a variety of resources to help you explore — including website articles, publications, listings, checklists, and more.
