The First Church of Christ, Scientist, is located at 105 Arden Place in Greensboro. The church was founded in 1879 by Mary Baker Eddy in Boston Massachusetts. The church believes in healing through Christian Science treatment. According to their website, Christian Science is a system of healing based on they way Jesus healed and it was discovered by Mary Baker Eddy in 1866. “It is the soul of divine philosophy, and there is no other philosophy. It is not a search after wisdom, it is wisdom: it is God’s right hand grasping the universe, — all time, space, immortality, thought, extension, cause, and effect; constituting and governing all identity, individuality, law, and power. It stands on this Scriptural platform: that He made all that was made, and it is good, reflects the divine Mind, is governed by it; and that nothing apart from this Mind, one God, is self-created or evolves the universe."*
The services consist of singing hymns, prayer, and readings from the Bible and from Eddy's book, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures. The church does not have clergy, but relies on readers. The denomination is well known for the reading rooms and the publication, The Christian Science Monitor. While the church does not publish membership figures, it is reported that membership has been declining in the decades since World War II.
Looking at the church on Arden Place, we are struck by the beauty of the building and property.
