SUMMARY
The church's own current press-room FAQ page. Confirms present-day framing: Christian Scientists turn to God in prayer for help, viewing God as a parent who heals all disease; describes a practitioner as an experienced Christian Scientist devoted full time to helping others find healing through prayer, available to anyone seeking spiritual healing this way; states practitioners are not employed by the church but by the individuals they assist, and charge modest fees for their work. The page also states Christian Scientists are free to make their own decisions about health care and respect the individual rights and conscience of those who choose medical care, framing reliance on prayer alone as a personal choice rather than a mandatory exclusion of medical care. Used only as first-party evidence of the church's current promise, fee structure, and stated posture toward medical care, not as independent evidence of efficacy.
NOTES
The church’s own current press-room FAQ, used alongside christianscience-com-practitioners-2026 to establish the present-day promise (prayer alone, framed as healing “all disease”) and financial-conflict continuity (self-employed practitioners charging modest fees), and the church’s own present-day posture that reliance on prayer alone is framed as a personal choice.
