Jackie Dougherty, talk from September 3, 2017: It seems that almost every day we as Religious Scientists are met with another opportunity to be of service to our world - and, of course, to our country and community. That way is by being spiritually active: by standing in the Truth despite any appearance of division, conflict, violence or hate. This also means we honestly look within to uncover our own participation in attitudes of judgment and separation, usually buried beneath our conscious awareness. This is the highest form of service and often the most difficult. Are you willing to step "up?"
