We live in a world where millions of people are striving to make changes聽for the better.聽 How do we make sure such changes actually happen? That question will be answered on聽Thursday, February 18,聽at聽7 pm,聽in the Elliott Building Lecture Theatre 168, at a free event hosted by the Christian Science Chaplain in the University of Victoria鈥檚 Multifaith Services. The speaker, Mark McCurties of Elsah, Illinois, USA, is being brought to our community by First Church of Christ, Scientist, Victoria.
McCurties has loved the Bible and its inspiring message of individual triumph over adversity since he was a child. After college, he worked with young people as a camp director, resident counselor, and athletics coach. Here he witnessed many instances of the healing power of God 鈥� including his own, following a relay race in 90-degree F. weather. These experiences eventually led him into the full-time public practice of Christian Science healing. He says of the talk, 鈥淚 will explain how God鈥檚 loving and saving power is the greatest agent for change, and that through a right understanding of God, His power can be seen and felt right here and now, bringing health and peace to the world."
