Christian Science

In 1875 Mary Baker Eddy (1821-1910) after years of thought, healing and study of the Bible published her book, Science and Health. It regarded sickness as a mere illusion to be overcome by right thinking and becomes the textbook of the sect Christian Science, which she founded four years later in 1879.

Having founded the mother church in Boston in 1879, Eddy devoted her remaining years to the development of her Christian Science movement, which she built up through her healing work.

Movie actress Joan Crawford died of a heart attack in her New York City apartment after several years of illness on May 10, 1977. She had refused treatment because of her faith in Christian Science.
