Susan McFarlane CS “All nature teaches God’s love to man,” (S&H 328:8). Consider the black walnut tree. The pod that encases the precious seed is so hard that even driving a car over it can sometimes fail to release the seed. But plant it in the ground under clumps of earth, and in the fullness…

A life-long Christian Scientist shares the healing that made him realize that relying on God brings immediate and lasting effects. Many years ago in a career in England as a soccer player, I had a major injury. In the 1970's, soccer was very physical and often violent. In a particularly rough game, I jumped to…

Following a remarkable Christian Science nursing career, Gloria Beasley, a Christian Science Nurse at Broadview, has recently become Journal-listed. We are celebrating her achievement by sharing her incredible story. One day Gloria Beasley and her husband found out that they would have to care for her mother-in-law at home. Gloria's mother-in-law was dealing with a…

On November 25, 2013, our Activities and Volunteer Coordinator, Tracy Colerider-Krugh, introduced the idea of a “Practice Club” at Broadview for our guests to pray specifically for the world, our local communities & the facility.

The Broadview Board of Directors is conducting a professional search for Michael's replacement. In the meantime, Mark Schierloh,…

Guest Post by Ame Kraus, Broadview Business Associate Recently I was on a spiritual retreat at the InspireSight event up near Yosemite National Park. This retreat helped me reflect on how all aspects of life can be broadened, lifted higher, and seen with a more clear and metaphysical purpose. The spiritual theme was from Hymn…

Healing moments are often about the progress of Broadview's guests. However, progress can also be found among our staff. One staff member found they had unintentionally run a red light at an intersection. And while this intersection is normally busy, the cars in the other lanes stood still, and patiently waited for her to pass.…

"There is neither place nor opportunity in Science for error of any sort. Every day makes its demands upon us for higher proofs rather than professions of Christian power. These proofs consist solely in the destruction of sin, sickness, and death by the power of Spirit, as Jesus destroyed them.
