Public Talk: The Law of Love

Even within difficult daily experiences or news headlines about community and world concerns, we see expressions of love and kindness making a difference. More than chance occurrences, these examples of goodness point to a deeper truth: that there is an overarching influence for good at work. One might even call that influence divine Love.

Anne Melville, practitioner of Christian Science healing and international speaker, will explore this idea in her talk, "The Law of Love," on Sunday 27th August at 11.30am in the Christian Science Reading Room, Ocean Central, corner of Ocean St and Duporth Avenue, Maroochydore.

"Divine Love isn't fickle or variable," says Melville. "It's the steady governing force of good, and we can prove its power."

Sharing examples of healing from her own life and professional practice of Christian Science, Melville will explain why Christian Science is both Christian and scientific, meaning that people can prove its effectiveness for themselves. All are welcome.

Melville will also touch on the life of Mary Baker Eddy, a mid-nineteenth-century woman from New England, who came to understand, confirm, and teach what she felt was original Christian healing. Eddy herself said she was especially inspired by Jesus’ demand, “He that believes on me, the works that I do will he do also; and greater works than these will he do, because I go unto my Father” (found in the Gospel of John 14:12 in the Bible).

For over 150 years, people around the world have worked to follow Christ Jesus in this practice of Christianity and continue to do so today, experiencing healings of physical ills and personal difficulties.

Anne Melville has been a Christian Science practitioner for many years, helping people on a daily basis through this scientific approach to prayer. Based in Kaikohe, New Zealand, she speaks to audiences around the world as a member of the Christian Science Board of Lectureship.
