Divine Science

I randomly came across a religion called Divine Science the other day and I didn't know much about it.  So, here we are.  I thought I might as well post some background info about it! It was founded in 1887 by Nona Lovell Brooks, Fannie Brooks James, and Aletha Brooks. While practicing the belief of the Omniprescent of God, they came into contact with a woman named Malinda Cramer in San Francisco who was practicing a similar principle. Both woman began practicing this principle after having experienced almost miraculous healings. The two similar schools of thought came together and Divine Science was born. Thus, Divine Science in the U.S. started in two places: San Francisco and Denver. It is basically a spiritual religion that believes in the “oneness” and omniprescence of God with the goal of releasing material desires and becoming one with this God. It is practiced by “turning attention from the outer visible effects of this world to the inner world of the First Cause” and some examples and teachings of Jesus Christ are followed as well. Divine Science is still around today, and is estimated to have around 5,000 members.
