Christian Science Reading Room

Healing in Christian Science is joyful— it’s the natural result of understanding God as divine Life and Love.

In this inspirational talk, speaker Ann Kneeland shares real-life examples of spiritual healing. Her examples show how fear, illness, and polarization dissolve as we discover God’s pure and spiritual creation. This discovery brings joy, healing, and freedom for everyone.

The talk will be offered twice: Friday, October 16 at 7pm and Saturday, October 17 at 10am at the Christian Science Reading Room in Palo Alto (459 California Avenue) and streamed live: https://www.cspaloalto.org/event-details/healing-with-joy-discovering-the-power-of-love-2026-10-16-19-00-1
