Information
About the Retreat
Members of the Christian Science community join with Christian Science nursing students to explore Jesus’ parable of the Good Samaritan and the Church Manual By-Law, “Christian Science Nurse.” With the Pastor as our foundation, attendees learn Christian Science nursing standards, practical tips for supporting others, and preparation of light nourishment.
The retreat is a stand-alone learning opportunity as well as the anchor course for The Healing Ministry of Christian Science Nursing, Levels I–IV. (Enrollment in Glenmont’s Christian Science nursing education program is not required to participate in the retreat.)
