These Christian Science Sunday School students from around the globe were in Boston for four days to participate in Annual Meeting, and visit The Mother Church, Longyear Museum, and sites of historical interest.

While at Longyear, the group attended an illustrated talk, highlighting how Mary Baker Eddy’s discovery of Christian Science shatters universally held beliefs.

The teens also explored Longyear’s three exhibit galleries, and they saw a temporary exhibit about the four early workers featured in Paths of Pioneer Christian Scientists (Longyear Museum Press, 2010). The DiscoveryBound visit concluded with a barbecue dinner and time to explore the Museum’s outdoor exhibits, including the summerhouse and fountain from the grounds of Pleasant View, Mrs. Eddy’s former home in Concord, New Hampshire.
