What’s church got to do with it?
Have you ever thought about God as goodness? And God’s creation, including you and everyone else, as a natural extension of that goodness? There is a direct connection between this foundational way of viewing the world and the idea of church. This lecture discusses the role of church—not just as a building or place, but as a new kind of thinking that reveals God’s goodness for you and everyone around you.
Our speaker will be Emra Farkas, a Christian Science practitioner and teacher, and member of the Christian Science Board of Lectureship.
About our Speaker
Emra has degrees in Fine Arts and after school worked for galleries and museums in New York City. Interested in finding spiritual answers to life’s challenges rekindled, she explored a variety of spiritual disciplines in search of answers. This hands-on study of comparative religion helped her understand the universality of the search for spiritual truth but left her with unanswered questions.
After some years of poor health, a sudden spiritual insight led her back to Christian Science and an instantaneous healing of multiple chronic illnesses. This inspired a deeper study of Eddy’s writings which then led to returning to church, taking Christian Science class instruction (a two-week intensive course of study) and shortly after, becoming a full-time Christian Science practitioner. She says there is nothing more satisfying than seeing divine Truth and Love transform lives and bring healing.
