Please join us for this free talk on Saturday, March 28th at 1:30 pm at the Worcester Public Library, Main Branch, 3 Salem Square, Worcester, MA.

The Science of Christianity challenges conventional views of prayer, presenting it not as blind faith, but as a scientific understanding of God’s ever-present love. Drawing from Jesus’ teachings in the Bible, as well as personal experiences practicing Christian Science, Emra illustrates how prayer can bring tangible healing and transformation. Prayer, combined with a law-based approach to spirituality, can be both practical and provable.

Scientific prayer
and finding dependable results

Emra Farkas, practitioner of Christian Science healing and international speaker, will present her talk, “Can prayer be scientific?,” on March 28, 2026 at 1:30 pm at the Worcester Public Library, Main Branch, 3 Salem Square, Worcester, MA.

The talk will focus on universal healing precepts found, in the Holy Bible, especially in Christ Jesus’ life and teachings, showing how they are available for anyone to understand and experience through the lens of Christian Science. The talk is free, open to the community, and hosted by Second Church of Christ, Scientist, in Worcester, MA

“Dependable results require a dependable foundation.” Farkas adds, “If you don’t begin with a correct premise, then the best intentions on earth are not going to matter because you won’t find true and dependable answers. When the reality of God’s love comes home to us in an undeniable way, I think we very naturally want to understand more.”

Sharing examples of healing from her own life and professional practice of Christian Science, Farkas will explain why Christian Science is both Christian and scientific, meaning that people can prove its effectiveness for themselves, as fully described in the book Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, written by the founder of the Christian Science movement, Mary Baker Eddy.

Farkas will also touch on the life of Mary Baker Eddy, who came to understand, confirm, and teach what she felt was original Christian healing. Eddy herself said she was especially inspired by Jesus’ demand, “He that believes on me, the works that I do will he do also; and greater works than these will he do, because I go unto my Father” (found in the Gospel of John 14:12 in the Bible).

For over 150 years, people around the world have worked to follow Christ Jesus in this practice of Christianity and continue to do so today, experiencing healings of physical ills and personal difficulties.

Farkas has been a Christian Science practitioner for many years, helping people on a daily basis through this scientific approach to prayer. She travels from her home base in Santa Fe, New Mexico to speak to audiences around the world as a member of the Christian Science Board of Lectureship.
