IN an article on November 30 - The redneck who charmed us all" it stated that Tom Cruise is a Christian Scientist.
He is not, Tom Cruise is a member of the church of Scientology which is radically different from Christian Science, as will be seen by visiting the Christian Science website on www.spirituality.com Christian Science acknowledges the Bible and looks for its spiritual meaning to guide us.
Mary Baker Eddy looked into these inspired Biblical writings. She found that God is Love' as the disciple John later wrote.
This is very different from some of the ideas we have of God.
But, to help us, and using the Bible, Mrs Eddy wrote down what she was discovering in a book called Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures. And she later founded the Christian Science church.
There are Christian Science churches and reading rooms across Lancashire.
