[edit] To merge or not

• I vote no to merging. This article is pretty factual in its presentation. It would be lost in the main article which seems to me to be a hodge-podge of opinions and arguments. The main article could be improved by more cutouts such as this article that deal with specifics. My parents were both CS practitioners, one listed in the Journal and one not. They both went through class with teachers who had been taught directly by Mary Baker Eddy. I was a member of both the Mother Church and a branch church, but I am now an Episcopalian. I am not a defender of the Christian Science religion, but I cringe at the lack of a NPOV by some opponents as well as by some proponents. clariosophic 19:02, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

• • The discussion on this in the Christian Science article was 1 for and 3 against merging. Accordingly I have deleted the merge notice that was put up in November 2006. clariosophic 21:19, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
