The Board of Lectureship

About Christian Science Lectures

Christian Science lectures have been offered to the public since the founding of The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston. They are a longstanding tradition of openness — an invitation to anyone curious about Christian Science to come and hear it explained, clearly and freely, by someone who lives it.

The Christian Science Board of Lectureship is an international body of practitioners and teachers who travel the world to give these talks. Each lecturer speaks from their own experience of healing and prayer.

Fourth Church of Christ, Scientist, Manchester sponsors a free public lecture each year — one of the principal ways this church reaches out to the wider community of Manchester with the practical good news that healing through prayer is available today.

All lectures are free. No ticket, no registration, no prior knowledge required. Simply come along.
