Do Christian Scientists worship her?
Mrs. Eddy strongly discouraged personal adulation in any form. Among her many published statements on this subject is an article called “Deification of Personality,” in which she states, “Whosoever looks to me personally for his health or holiness, mistakes. He that by reason of human love or hatred or any other cause clings to my material personality, greatly errs, stops his own progress, and loses the path to health, happiness, and heaven.” While Christian Scientists generally feel a deep respect for what Mary Baker Eddy has done for humanity, they worship God.
