I am a Christian Scientist, and have belonged to the church since 1982. One post here needs an important correction: The church of Scientology is in NO WAY releated to or even similar to the “Church of Scientology”. And there is NO “Christian Scientology”. This is a huge and common error. Scientology does not claim to be, nor is it, a Christian denomination. Christian Science, on the other hand, was at one time huge movement which is founnded and based upon Christianity and Jesus Christ.
Sorry, I did not edit myself well. I meant to say that “The Church of Christ, Scientist” in Boston MA and its branches are in NO WAY even remotely connected to the “Church of Scientology” Scientology uses a name that seems to have the word “science” in it, but we are talking about 2 different universes here.
