Christian Science Nursing Care for Christian Scientists
Mark Sappenfield, Editor of The Christian Science Monitor, addresses how one might use the solution oriented Christian Science Monitor to pray about current events. He delves into the metaphysical basis of The Monitor and gives examples of praying about world challenges from the Monitor’s recent content such as on Israeli-Hamas war.

“Servant Leadership and Its Biblical Roots” – A Bible Connections Talk by Dr. Joan Bernard Bradley
This workshop, Servant Leadership and Its Biblical Roots, discusses how Bible patriarchs practiced inspired principles of leadership that brought healing to their environments. We will ponder lessons learned from their examples so that we can be better leaders today.

Joan served Principia for 9 years as a faculty member and now teaches at Summer Session. She was Head of the elementary division at Claremont Fan Court School in England and later taught education and leadership courses at Daemen University, New York. Her doctorate is in Educational Leadership and Administration from St. Louis University, Missouri.

Some of you may know that years ago I was an educator in grade schools to colleges, and I did a lot of ecumenical work in Boulder when I first entered the public practice of Christian Science. Others may know that for 20 years I’ve a comparatively long daily workday commute to and from Wide Horizon – A Christian Science Nursing Facility for Sincere Seekers of Truth. What you don’t know is that for months early in the pandemic I was often the only driver on roads and at intersections, strangely disconcerting at times. Often, I’d think about Wide Horizon and its ministry of Christian Science nursing for our community, with many moments in prayer to God for mankind’s freedom from disease and for health throughout the earth. I also sought inspiration from Spirit – sometimes via KUVO (jazz) or KLOVE (Christian) on FM radio. I spent a lot of time listening, observing, and praying.
On my commute, I drive by a number of churches and schools. I usually pray for the protection and safety of children, young people and others at schools, and I ask God to send blessings to students waiting at bus stops and those on school buses. Young people need our prayers, perhaps more than ever. Such prayer helps make the commute seem shorter. And, prayer makes life better. Also, I see signs with messages at different churches and schools and bumper stickers on cars. Over the years, these have included in no particular order (given as remembered):
