Victoria BC Church

Christian Science Reading Rooms

Reading Rooms function like community bookstores and drop-in centers for the exploration of spiritual healing, prayer, and spirituality. Here you may ask questions about Christian Science as well as read, borrow, or purchase the Bible, the writings of Mary Baker Eddy, including Science and Health, with Key to the Scriptures (Download Book), and other authorized literature and audio products (in various languages) from The Christian Science Publishing Society.

These include: the Pulitzer Prize-winning daily newspaper, The Christian Science Monitor; the weekly Christian Science Sentinel and monthly Christian Science Journal, both of which contain spiritual articles on current topics as well as accounts of spiritual healing; and the Christian Science Quarterly, which contains the citations for the Weekly Bible Lessons.

We are one of approximately 2,000 reading room locations worldwide.
