Christian Science Events and Lectures
Gathering of Intellectual Thinkers
Kassel, Germany, 11-13 October, H4 Hotel
This year there will again be a gathering of intellectual thinkers!
This time we will meet again in Kassel from 11th to 13 October in the H4 Hotel.
Under the motto: "Let the voice of theTruth andLove be heard above the terrible din of mortal nothingness, and let the majestic advance of Christian Science ad infinitum* take its course and Praise God, do the works of original Christianity and enlighten the world."
The First Church of Christ Scientist and Miscellaneous, Mary Baker Eddy, p. 245:19
*to infinity, unlimited [continuing]
We look forward to joining you in silent conversations to find answers to the questions that currently preoccupy humanity. We look forward to coming together with you and being united under divine guidance as Christian Scientists, friends, and the curious to, as Honorable Charles Carrol Bonney says in 'Miscellaneous Writings', Mary Baker Eddy, p. 312:17, "proclaim the true harmony between religion and science and to revive the waning faith of many in the truths of Scripture." The questions that constantly accompany us in the media are many: nutrition, climate change, human rights, LGBTQ+, and more. By shining the light of truth on these questions, we find satisfying answers that strengthen our healing minds.
