By Joe Niemiec

How are children raised up in your faith tradition?

Religious Science is based upon the principle that we are creative beings here to express and experience life to its fullest. We believe that God (spirit) has created each of us out of itself and, as such, we are endowed with gifts and talents. We believe that we are here that God may know itself by means of us. We believe that we create our lives out of our basic beliefs, thoughts, and feelings (“it is done unto you as you believe”).

There are no specific guidelines as to how to raise our children within The Science of Mind. We raise our children to believe they are unique manifestations of God. As parents, we support our children in discovering the inherent gifts they have to bring to the world and encourage them to respect all beings and traditions.

In other words, we believe and teach our children to explore and experience life to its fullest as long as there is no intention to harm another.

He began his quest for ‘getting back on track’ with 12 step programs, followed by learning and practicing meditation with a local Redding, California, teacher.
