Lecture Overview
- Explore how healing is possible through the practical application of scientific prayer
- Hear experiences that show how people have put this prayer-based healing system into practice
People everywhere are looking for solutions. The challenging problems the world faces today demand a new way of addressing the issues that face us. Worldwide, people are turning to prayer for healing. National speaker, John Adams, says, “There is nothing that compares to the moment of healing, of realizing God’s actuality and one’s innocence as His child. Healing directly impacts families, friends, neighbors, and communities.”
Adams will explore how healing is possible through the practical application of scientific prayer in our lives and share experiences that show how he and others have put this prayer-based system of healing into practice in their own lives.
During his talk, Adams references the original sourcebook on Christian healing-the Bible-along with Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, a book of universal ideas on practical spirituality.
About John Q. Adams, C.S.B.John’s great joy is healing. To use his words: “There is nothing that compares to the moment of healing, of realizing God’s actuality and one's innocence as His child. Healing directly impacts families, friends, neighbors, and communities.”
John spent his early years in the Midwest being taught in the Christian Science Sunday School with his brother and three sisters. Later, in his teens, he moved to New York City where he pursued an acting career studying with Lee Strasberg and Herbert Berghoff.
In his mid twenties, John was healed of a serious drug habit by reading Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy three times cover to cover. His healing was life altering and since then he has devoted his life to church participation in a full range of commitments, caring for his family, and his continued spiritual development.
John owned a total of nine flower stores in New York City while raising a family of three children with his former wife. In 1985, he sold the last of his businesses and went into the full-time public practice of Christian Science.
He served for six years as a Trustee of Daycroft School in Greenwich, Connecticut.
He has had several articles appear in The Christian Science Journal and Christian Science Sentinel and has recorded for “The Truth That Heals” radio series and been interviewed on Sentinel Radio.
