SUMMARY:"What Really Matters" - A Talk sponsored by First Church of Christ\, Scientist\, West Chester\, PA
DESCRIPTION:About this talk:\nWhen finding solutions seems difficult\, it’s often because we are having trouble knowing what matters. But the right kind of vision (hint: it’s spiritual) allows us to discern what is actually important. Christian Science reveals what is essential\, brings solutions\, and enables us to live God-impelled lives that bless our families and communities. \nClick here to learn more about the branch church sponsoring important event. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				About our Speaker Nicole Virgil\, CS:Member of the Christian Science Board of Lectureship\nNicole’s father was a free-lance church organist\, and her parents attended services at many different Christian churches in New England. Her mom had been on a years-long search to find out how to practice Christian healing just as Jesus did\, and when she started attending Christian Science church services\, she found what she was looking for. As a result\, Nicole was raised in Christian Science\, and developed a deep desire for an intimate relationship with God. \nNicole studied Christian Science with her mom and music with her dad\, and found that each discipline complemented the other. Christian Science healed performance anxiety\, while learning music honed the skills she needed for spiritual practice — skills such as intuition\, listening\, patience and diligence. Throughout her life\, Christian Science and music have always overlapped: after studying opera at music school\, she took her one-woman opera review program (That Can’t Be Opera!) on the road\, educating audiences about opera by singing Mozart\, Puccini\, and Menotti. Christian Science guided her through this entrepreneurial endeavor\, just as it led her to start soloing in churches as a teenager (which is something she still loves to do!) — Nicole eventually married\, started a family with her husband\, and entered the public practice of Christian Science. \nToday Nicole enjoys raising children\, gardening\, soloing in church\, and witnessing the healing effect of Christian Science.

SUMMARY:Free Public Talk - Can We Heal Like Jesus?
DESCRIPTION:Can We Heal Like Jesus?\nA FREE Inspirational Talk\nby Alexandre Fischer\, CS\nWHAT DID JESUS MEAN WHEN HE SAID THAT WHOEVER UNDERSTANDS HIM WILL BE ABLE TO HEAL AS HE DID? (JOHN 14:12)   \nIS THIS REALLY POSSIBLE?  \n\n\n\n\nCome and find out!  Explore the healings of Jesus with Alexandre as he takes you on a spiritual journey of discovery.\nFor over 150 years\, people around the world have worked to follow Christ Jesus in this practice of Christianity and continue to do so today\, experiencing healings of physical ills and personal difficulties.  Alex Fischer has been a Christian Science practitioner for many years\, helping people on a daily basis through this scientific approach to prayer.  He travels from his home base in the southwest of France to speak to audiences around the world as a member of the Christian Science Board of Lectureship. \n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Alexandre Fischer\n\n \n\nPracticing law in France and the United States for several years informed Alexandre’s practice of Christian Science. The law was not just his job\, he says\, it was his passion. To Alexandre\, being a good lawyer meant exercising the ability to think precisely and feeling a desire to help others get out of trouble. \nDuring his years as a lawyer\, his interest in Christian Science grew. At first\, he was impressed by its remarkable healings and resolutions\, but as he dug deeper\, he found a profound spirituality. He used to believe that religion and spirituality meant accepting a system of beliefs and letting go of discernment and critical thinking. But the more he studied and practiced this spirituality\, the more he found that one’s relationship with God requires critical thinking to understand spiritual concepts. These concepts can in turn be applied to one’s life to bring healing. \nGradually\, he gave up his law practice to become a full-time Christian Science practitioner. Alexandre still works to help others “get out of trouble\,” that is\, to overcome a sense of limitation and to find freedom. \nAlexandre discovered that Christian Science is not just about feeling better or fixing problems. It’s about being willing to challenge one’s world view as entirely molecule-based and soulless\, to be open to see the world as spiritually-based\, and experience how this change in perspective brings inner peace and healing. Christian Science helps us understand our relationship with God\, infinite good\, more clearly. Its teachings help us see Christ Jesus’ message in a non-dogmatic way\, bringing healing\, harmony and freedom to our life. \nThrough healing and lecturing\, Alexandre works to enable others to find this same freedom.

SUMMARY:Free Public Talk - A Spiritual Revolution: The Quest To Experience God
DESCRIPTION:A Spiritual Revolution: The Quest To Experience God\nA FREE Inspirational Talk\nby Giulia Nesi Tetreau\n— on finding spiritual perspective for living a better life\n\n\nIn this talk\, Giulia will share how she has experienced a “spiritual revolution” in her own life by reading the book\, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures\, by Mary Baker Eddy\, along with the Bible. \nThe ideas in Science and Health gave her an entirely new perspective on God and life that resulted in deeper meaning and even physical healings\, both for herself and others. \nMs. Nesi is a member of the Christian Science Board of Lectureship.  In this role\, she has addressed medical conferences\, university classrooms\, as well as general audiences around the world. \n\n\nJoin us for a wonderful hour with international speaker\, Giulia Nesi Tetreau.  Discover a spiritual practice to improve your life and perspective. \n\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				About Giulia Nesi Tetreau\n\nAs a child\, I learned that God is all love. But at the same time\, He (never She) could be distant\, unknowable\, and judgmental. He was loving\, but could punish us harshly. He sent sunshine and babies\, but also storms\, wars\, and disease. \nLonging for meaningful connection with the divine\, this two-sided God was no comfort to me as I grew older. I wanted to feel unconditional love\, that God would be a reliable help no matter what I was dealing with or going through. And I didn’t just want to know about God. I wanted to experience God. \nMy yearning was actually part of what I understand to be a larger spiritual revolution. Worldwide\, across cultures\, people are seeking a truer sense of Deity. Spirit\, God (or whatever we call our Source) is impelling us all toward a life that’s bigger and deeper than what we perceive with the five senses. \nThis impulsion led me to Christian Science\, which\, based on the life and teachings of Christ Jesus\, explains that God is pure Love\, and the source of all good feminine as well as masculine qualities. It also teaches that we all are God’s beloved children – always\, in all conditions – and that what’s true and enduring is the good in our nature. These are and continue to be revolutionary concepts. So revolutionary that\, as they change our viewpoints about God and ourselves\, we can experience healing from disease and suffering as Jesus showed us.
