This is a message from a letter Mary Baker Eddy wrote to a branch church in London in the early days of the Christian Science movement. The brief letter is reproduced in The First Church of Christ, Scientist and Miscellany (p. 198).
The occasion was the dedication of their “magnificent church edifice”. Mrs Eddy wrote several letters to the London branches of the Church of Christ, Scientist and to British Christian Scientists. She was aware and appreciative of the spirituality of the British people and took a keen interest in the growth of her movement on the other side of the Atlantic from Boston.
In light of the events in London this week, I am thinking of this as a blessing for the whole, global city of residents and tourists, living in and visiting what I affectionately call “the hub of the universe”.
And as Londoners said on social media…
For those of you around the country and around the world who have been praying for our fair city this week, we thank you for your love and care!
