Misconceptions about ourselves and the world we live in are often corrected by advances in science which bring paradigm shifts to our ways of thinking and understanding existence — like discovering that the earth revolves around the sun, rather than the other way around.

The current matter-based scientific model leaves many questions unanswered and has some thinkers and scientists questioning if it is still the right model. It is interesting to consider if the time has now come for another major paradigm shift in science – a shift that would include God as the center and circumference of all existence. This paradigm shift in thought begins with the questions - how does science relate to God and is there a science that explains God?

Nikki will address these questions and show how the Science of God explains Jesus’ healings, and teachings, makes God knowable and understandable, and provides humanity with a safe and reliable means for caring for ourselves and each other.

Nikki will also share some of her own experiences of the transforming, healing power of God gained through understanding this Science of God, or Christian Science. She will explain how this healing happens, and what role consciousness plays in the process.

O'Hagan, a practitioner of Christian Science healing, will present a talk titled, The Science of God and its power to heal us on Thursday, March 19 at 6pm at First Church of Christ, Scientist in Madison.

The ideas in this lecture are based on the teachings of Jesus as recorded in the Bible, and as discussed in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, by Mary Baker Eddy.

Nikki is a member of the Christian Science Board of Lectureship. She travels from her home in Ireland.
