The Next Generation
Christian Science Fellowship embraces Mary Baker Eddy's statement that:
"A Christian
Scientist is a humanitarian; he is benevolent, forgiving, longsuffering,
and seeks to overcome evil with good."
(Church Manual
of the First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Massachusetts by
Mary Baker Eddy p. 46: 26-3)
