[edit] Christian Science Board of Directors Page

Although adding links to Christian Way is possibly appropriate to articles on Christian Science beliefs and theology, it is absolutely irrelevant to discussion of the Christian Science Board of Directors. Were it criticism it would be appropriately direct criticism on the Way the Church of Christian Science and associated institutions are run by the Christian Science Board of Directors.

[edit] Mary Baker Eddy

Again, while adding links to Christian Way is possibly appropriate to articles on Christian Science beliefs and theology, it is inappropriate to a biographical article on Mary Baker Eddy. While I recognize, and respect, that your faith demands a certain level of evangelicalism (and have not attempted to remove the appropriate placement of a link to Christian Way) adding your link to the Mary Baker Eddy article has nothing to do with balance and is not relevant (nor in any way a direct response) to the article. It smacks of an agenda and is thus NPOV. Digitalican 03:46, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Science & Health

Do go be man, please see the comments I left for you on the Discussion page for S&H. I did not remove the link in question, but I proposed that we do so. --Soapergem 20:28, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Soapergem, I saw your comments. I did not consider them persuasive and have not yet had time to respond properly. I still think that there are inexorable links between Christian Science, Science & Health, Mary Baker Eddy, First Church of Christ, Scientist, etc. Perhaps there should be an article strictly on the controversies of Christian Science from which the other articles could link. In the meantime, I consider a simple link to be relevant and to have precedence.

I studied Christian Science for more than 30 years before coming to understand the flaws of its teachings. Frankly, it's not so much that I'm adamant, I'm just surprised that Christian Scientists find so threatening the inclusion of one simple link that provides access to alternative perspectives based on, in many cases, decades of study of Science & Health, living in Christian Science, and following the teachings of Mary Baker Eddy. Perhaps you might consider moving this discussion to the Christian Way forums - [1]. --Do go be man 21:49, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
