I am writing with sincere appreciation for Skip’s kindness and encouragement. He encouraged me to help others, even when I may have been struggling with a challenge or two myself. He wrote me positive responses to my contributions, which frequently related how I’d shared Christian Science with folks from all walks of life, often to those who may have been receiving treatment for former addictions.

I also related to his genuine universality of thought. At the time, not all Christian Scientists were so accepting of others. Today, I am grateful to read metaphysical contributions from many Christian Science practitioners and teachers that express brotherly kindness and a willingness to learn from our fellow Christians…and Jews…and Muslims…and non-believers, as well!
