The mission of Wide Horizon, Inc. is to provide Christian Science nursing, facilities, and support for those seeking healing accomplished through complete reliance on Christian Science as taught by Mary Baker Eddy.

“Let us feel the divine energy of Spirit, bringing us into newness of life and recognizing no mortal nor material power as able to destroy. Let us rejoice

that we are subject to the divine ‘powers that be.”’ —Science and Health, p. 249

Have you ever wondered how different our practice of Christian Science (or our lives) would be without Christian Science nursing to turn to in time of need? Our Christian Science nurses are on the front lines supporting our Cause by providing care to fellow Christian Scientists as they endeavor to practice spiritual healing. In this light we at Wide Horizon have been renewing our deep appreciation for their sacred way of caring for those in need. This is our healing ministry for all sincere seekers of Truth.

“Jesus established his church and maintained his mission on a spiritual foundation of Christ-healing.” —Science and Health, p. 136

Testimonial from Practitioner

A Christian Science practitioner who visits Wide Horizon shared,“During my visits with patients at Wide Horizon, I have watched the care of Christian Science nurses in their firm and loving way. These Christian Science nurses are holding ‘thought steadfastly to the enduring, the good, and the true…’ (Science and Health, p. 261). They are supporting and expecting healing.”

“The nurse should be cheerful, orderly, punctual, patient, full of faith,—receptive to Truth and Love.” —Science and Health, p. 395

Testimonial from Patient

A patient writes, “I became limited in my movements with considerable discomfort…I was taken to Wide Horizon… where I remained for five months…this was a time of spiritual growth...I began to gradually improve…When it was evident that I was getting well enough to go home, the Christian Science nurses started preparing me for this event… I was and am so grateful for the loving and strong support of such wonderful Christian Science nurses who helped me demonstrate my God-given dominion.”

“A grateful heart a temple is, a shrine so pure and white, where angels of His presence keep calm watch by day or night.” —Christian Science Hymnal, 3

Have you ever thought of Christian Science nursing as an activity of Church? Our Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, literally made Christian Science nursing a church activity—one that supports the Christian Science practice and healing—by providing a bylaw for it in the Church Manual. We are therefore appreciating Christian Science nursing as part of Church. We believe development efforts for Christian Science nursing supports fellow Christian Scientists in our vast region, and ultimately the Cause of Christian Science and all mankind.

❖ At-Home Care. Christian Science nurses at Wide Horizon may be able to arrange for a CSN to visit your home to provide care when needed, in some cases on an emergency basis.

❖ Estate Plans — An estate plan enables you to leave a lasting legacy to both your family and the organizations you value the most. The most common documents in an estate plan include the following:

• A Will and/or Trust. The best means for transfer of your wealth depends on your financial circumstances, your plans for the distribution of your property, and the state in which you reside. Decisions on the choice of documents and their preparation usually require the assistance of an attorney.

• Charitable Organizations as Beneficiaries — An easy, direct way to provide for your best-loved charities is to change the beneficiary designation on an IRA or life insurance policy to the names of those organizations. When these assets are gifted to individuals, they are considered as taxable income; when they are gifted to a charitable organization, they are tax free.
