‘Independent Christian Scientists’ refers to people who sincerely found value in Christian Science and later moved on in some way that conflicted with the trajectory of the Christian Science Church. The volume and wide variety of their writings indicate a history of tension within the Church between the need to conserve the integrity of Mary Baker Eddy’s vision and the wish to provide creative space for its members to innovate—to offer alternative interpretations of the Bible and Eddy’s writings.   Click here for links to websites featuring some of these independent works.
