-We are not Scientology.
-We are not Christian Science.
-We are Religious Science.
Religious Science was founded in 1926 by Dr. Ernest Holmes. The teachings are called the Science of Mind®. Religious Science exists to facilitate the reawakening of each individual's awareness of the higher Self.
Each Church of Religious Science, through Sunday services, Science of Mind® classes, self-growth seminars, and individual counseling provides an educational and spiritual process in a supportive environment enabling all who desire to discover and know the ultimate Oneness of Universal Life to do so.
Religious Science is not in opposition to any religious belief or philosophy. Rather, it seeks to bring to light the thread of Truth which exists in all religions.
We recognize that each individual is on a path to his own fulfillment and must be guided by his own inner voice. We offer practical and definite methods with which each individual can create positive life changes. Among the benefits of the teachings of Religious Science is the understanding of positive prayer or spiritual mind healing. We refer to this as spiritual mind treatment.
In summary, Religious Science offers healing, spiritual understanding, and an opportunity to experience greater love, greater joy, and greater life expression. In the words of Dr. Ernest Holmes, There is a power for good in the Universe, greater than you are, and you can use it.
Beliefs:
We believe in God, the Living Spirit Almighty; one indestructible, absolute, and self existent Cause. This One manifests Itself in and through all creation but is not absorbed by Its creation. The manifest universe is the body of God; it is the logical and necessary outcome of the infinite self-knowingness of God.
We believe in the incarnation of the Spirit in everyone and that all people are incarnations of the One Spirit.
We believe in the eternality, the immortality, and the continuity of the individual soul, forever and ever expanding. We believe that heaven is within us and that we experience it to the degree that we become conscious of it.
We believe the ultimate goal of life to be a complete emancipation from all discord of every nature, and that this goal is sure to be attained by all.
We believe in the unity of all life, and that the highest God and the innermost God is one God.
We believe that God is personal to all who feel this in dwelling Presence.
We believe in the direct revelation of Truth through the intuitive and spiritual nature of the individual, and that any person may become a revealer of Truth who lives in close contact with the indwelling God.
We believe that the Universal Spirit, which is God, operates through a Universal Mind, which is the Law of God; and that we are surrounded by the Creative Mind which receives the direct impress of our thought and acts upon it.
We believe in the healing of the sick through the Power of this Mind.
We believe in the control of conditions through the Power of this Mind.
We believe in the eternal Goodness, the eternal Loving-kindness, and the eternal Givingness of Life to all.
