A lasting, healing solution to hopelessness
A free talk on Christian Science by Alison Hughes, CS, given on Saturday, 18 April 2026
This video can be viewed up to three months from the date of the lecture.
Practical, transformative prayer makes a difference in the world, when we learn to trust God as infinite Mind and Truth.
We hear everywhere of the challenges of this moment. Civil chaos, mental health issues and climate or pandemic-related social and economic worries dominate the news. Some are asking, “Is there a lasting, healing solution to these challenges?”
As far back as Biblical times and during Jesus’ ministry these have been issues of concern–and practical transformative prayer brought healing.
This lecture will share through modern and Biblical examples why it is realistic to have a trusting expectation of good. It discusses ideas from the unique perspective Christian Science brings – a Science based on divine laws of good.
Alison is a Christian Science practitioner and member of the Christian Science Board of Lectureship and helps people on a daily basis through this scientific approach to prayer.

What is Christian Science?
A Bible-based church
Christian Science teaches that our true nature is spiritual, not material, and that an increasing understanding of this can bring healing and regeneration.
The Church of Christ, Scientist, is:
“…designed to commemorate the words and works of our Master, which should reinstate primitive Christianity and its lost element of healing.”
Mary Baker Eddy
A spiritual pioneer
Mary Baker Eddy (1821–1910) was an American religious leader widely known as the discoverer of Christian Science. A lifelong Bible student, Mrs Eddy wrote Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, first published in 1875. Four years later she founded the Church of Christ, Scientist. Today it has branches around the world. In 1908 she started The Christian Science Monitor, a respected global news source which has won seven Pulitzer Prizes

The King James Bible and Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures
“The canonical writings, together with the word of our textbook, corroborating and explaining the Bible texts in their spiritual import and application to all ages, past, present and future, constitute a sermon undivorced from truth, uncontaminated and unfettered by human hypotheses, and divinely authorised.” Christian Science Quarterly.
