	Christian Science provision sought in healthcare law - The Boston Globe
		Officials of the Christian Science Church are worried that the state's healthcare law will exclude faith healing as a recognized health benefit for its employees who do not receive traditional medical care because of their religious beliefs.

		Annual out-of-pocket expenses for participants in the Christian Science plan are capped at $1,000 for individuals and $3,000 for families.

		Although Christian Science is mentioned relatively infrequently in science fiction and fantasy, it is interesting to note that out of 66 novels which have won the Hugo or Nebula awards, 6 of them mention Christian Science (9%).
		Christian Science is mentioned more frequently than denominational families much larger than it, including Methodists, Presbyterians, Jehovah's Witnesses, etc. Espousing a fairly unusual worldview, and with followers among America's cultural icons (Marilyn Monroe, Jim Henson, etc), it is not surprising that this faith shows up at least occasionally in popular literature.

	Spiritual Healing On Trial: A Christian Scientist Reports
		Christian Scientists do not claim that their practice of spiritual healing should be accommodated in law simply because it is religious, but rather that it should not be proscribed by law simply because it is religious, and in the absence of clear evidence that it is ineffectual.
		And both Christian Science and the form of Christian healing that has become part of mainstream church life should be clearly differentiated from the "faith healing" associated with TV evangelism, itinerant evangelists (portrayed, for example, in the recent CBS television film "Promised a Miracle") and fundamentalist groups such as Faith Assembly.
		It is difficult to determine the number of Christian Scientists relying upon spiritual means for the healing of children, but the handful of losses among their children does not seem dramatically high for a small but widespread denomination.

	Being a Christian in Science
		A scientist believes that science is a "group of methods for solving a particular kind of problem."(4) Science is not just a list of facts or theories, it is a way to understand the natural world by observing, experimenting, and then attempting to find cause and effect relationships.
		A scientist knows we have few of the answers, and he or she sets out to at least try to ask the right questions so that we can learn more about how things work, and how this wildly diverse world fits together.
		If scientists are to be reached with the good news of Jesus Christ, the church must see that scientists too are a mission field, and, like most mission fields, they are best reached by the "natives," other scientists.
