Christian Science Nurses
Christian Science nurses are experienced Christian Scientists who are prepared to provide spiritual reassurance and skillful physical care consistent with the theology of Christian Science. Christian Science nursing includes practical care, such as bathing, dressing wounds, assistance with mobility and so forth. It does not include any form of medical treatment, such as diagnosing, medicine, or therapy.
Anyone who is depending solely on God for healing by applying the principles of Christian Science, as explained in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, may engage a nurse.
The standard of the Christian Science nurse is found in the Manual of the Mother Church, page 49, Article VIII, Section 31: Christian Science Nurse. SECT. 31. A member of The Mother Church who represents himself or herself as a Christian Science nurse shall be one who has a demonstrable knowledge of Christian Science practice, who thoroughly understands the practical wisdom necessary in a sickroom, and who can take proper care of the sick.
See the Christian Science Journal for a listing of nurses available in your area.
The Christian Science Visiting Nurse Service in our area is sponsered by Clifton House, Inc.
