You are working with effects. The cause is in the mind.





At this time of year we all have a tendency to get all caught up in the presents – the shopping, wrapping, giving and getting. Christmas is not about the presents. It's about the Presence. http://www.divinescience.org/newsletters/Dec-Jan%2011.pdf





During World War I, young Grace Lightfoot was a student nurse in the University of Colorado Hospital at Boulder. Climbing a stairway while on night duty near the end of her training, Grace felt a touch on her shoulder and a voice spoke to her: Grace, you are working with effects. The cause is in the mind. Soon after, a series of events in young Graces life led her to study the Truth as taught by the Divine Science Church and College of Denver, whose Founder-minister, Dr. Nona L. Brooks, became her teacher and mentor. https://www.amazon.com/Grace-Truth-Lightfoot-Ordained-Minister/dp/0875165419


Rev. Dr. Grace Faus (1897 - ) was ordained by Harvey S. Hardman in 1934, in Washington D.C., where she founded the First Church of Divine Science of Washington D.C. in 1932 and later the Divine Science Church of the Healing Christ in 1945.  In all, Grace served for 36 years, until her retirement in 1969.  For many years she taught for the Divine Science Summer School in Denver and later retired to Bailey, Colorado. http://www.divinescience.org/history.html


Dr. Harvey Hardman
took over the pulpit at The First Divine Science Church of Denver from Nona Brooks upon her resignation. He was also editor of the Divine Science Monthly.

Rev. Harvey S. Hardman accepted leadership of the First Church of Divine Science in Denver in September 1929 as Nona Brooks prepared to travel to Australia in January 1930.  He remained at the helm of the Denver Divine Science activity for nearly ten years and was much beloved.  Following this experience, he remained in Denver and remained close to the Divine Science Church and College, founding his own Mental Science Institute and School of Philosophy which operated well into the 1950's.

THE SILENT PARTNER
Excerpt:
The way to this goal of self-union with the Divine Power is narrow, but it is plain. You start by accepting the simple idea that God must be in you as well as in the rest of the universe.

Dr C William Mercer is an ordained New Thought (Practical Christianity) minister and author.  For ten years prior to his move to Charleston Rev Will co-ministered a Divine Rev Science Church in New York City's Harlem neighborhood.  Rev Will also created a prolific wedding ministry in NYC, performing more than 850 weddings since 2008.  Now he brings that same drive and determination to Charleston, South Carolina where he trusts that many more happy couples will enjoy his participation in arguably the biggest event of their lives -- their wedding ceremony.

Rev Will’s passion for history led him to write three recent books:  Present At The Beginning (2014), The Christology Connection (2015), and Courage, Conviction and Consciousness (2016), all of which focus on the history of Christian New Thought in America as well as the life and work of Divine Science founder, Malinda Elliott Cramer. https://www.revwill.com/rev-will-bio/
