Lisa Troseth, a practitioner of Christian Science healing, will speak on “Moving Past Fear – To Healing,” at 2:30 p.m., Saturday, May 23, at the Orinda Library Auditorium.
Her talk will focus on universal healing precepts found in the Bible, especially in Jesus’ life and teachings using the lens of Christian Science.
“Fear can be overcome and even healed in our lives by discovering the strong connection and relationship we have to something bigger than ourselves – God,” said Troseth. “By learning to lean and rely on this greater, higher good, we can feel moved to love beyond ourselves – and this frees us from fear and so much more.”
Sharing examples of healing from her own life and professional practice of Christian Science, Troseth will explain why Christian Science is both Christian and scientific.
Troseth will also touch on the life of the founder of the Christian Science movement, Mary Baker Eddy, who came to understand, confirm and teach what she felt was original Christian healing. For over 150 years, people around the world have worked to follow Jesus in this practice of Christianity, experiencing healings of physical ills and personal difficulties.
Troseth has been a Christian Science practitioner for many years and travels from her home base in Nyack, N.Y., to speak to audiences around the world as a member of the Christian Science Board of Lectureship.
The talk is free, open to the community and jointly sponsored by First Church of Christ, Scientist, Orinda and First Church of Christ, Scientist, Oakland.
