Wellington Lecture by Alexandre Fischer, CS

With a background in law, and now a full-time practitioner of Christian Science healing, Alexandre Fischer comes to us from France to both ask, and answer, the question “Is Jesus’ healing work a model for today?”. His talk discusses Christian Science and how it explains the practical application of Jesus’ teachings in daily life, for anyone, including through physical healing. Alexandre explores examples from the Bible and shares personal testimonies of healing, all pointing to the fact that God is not far off, but here and now. We’re all capable of understanding this for ourselves, of genuinely feeling infinite, ever-present Love, which is God, and helping others do the same.

Alexandre’s talk is being held at the church at 197 Willis Street at 7pm on Tuesday 17 February. Everyone is very welcome. If you’d like to know any more, please contact Dennis McKinlay at dkmck2014@gmail.com, or 021 396 966

A little bit about Alexandre: Practising law in France and the United States for several years informed Alexandre’s practice of Christian Science. The law was not just his job, he says, it was his passion. To Alexandre, being a good lawyer meant exercising the ability to think precisely and feeling a desire to help others get out of trouble.

During his years as a lawyer, his interest in Christian Science grew. At first, he was impressed by its remarkable healings and resolutions, but as he dug deeper, he found a profound spirituality. He used to believe that religion and spirituality meant accepting a system of beliefs and letting go of discernment and critical thinking. But the more he studied and practiced this spirituality, the more he found that one’s relationship with God requires critical thinking to understand spiritual concepts. These concepts can in turn be applied to one’s life to bring healing.
