Summary "Manual of The Mother Church" by Mary Baker Eddy is a religious text written in the late 19th century. This work outlines the rules, bylaws, and tenets governing The First Church of Christ, Scientist, which Eddy founded. It serves as an official guide for the administration and practices of the church, reflecting the principles and beliefs of Christian Science as established by Eddy. At the start of the manual, the author introduces the origin of The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and emphasizes that its governing rules and by-laws are not arbitrary but rather developed from a necessity to uphold the church's mission. The opening portion also includes the tenets of the church, setting a foundation of belief centered around the Bible and Eddy's work, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures." Additionally, it highlights the collaborative effort among its early members in creating a place of worship without creeds, emphasizing healing and spiritual understanding as central to their practice of Christianity.
