These objects and documents bring Christian Science history to life, spark inquiry, and ignite the exploration of larger stories waiting to be told.<\/p>\n<p>In this episode, six Library staff members sit down with our host to discuss the letters, scrapbooks, photographs, and art that they selected. They also explore connections between these artifacts and consider how, as primary sources, they can enrich, shift, and reinforce perspectives on Mary Baker Eddy and her church.<\/p>\n<p><b>Access more on this topic:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Podcast\u2014<\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.marybakereddylibrary.org\/research\/podcast\/74-archives-open-house-at-the-mary-baker-eddy-library\/\"><b>Archives Open House at The Mary Baker Eddy Library<\/b><\/a><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Podcast\u2014<\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.marybakereddylibrary.org\/research\/podcast\/92-concord-spiritual-quest-and-the-word-in-the-computer-age\/\"><b><i>Concord<\/i>: <\/b><b>spiritual quest and \u201cthe word\u201d in the computer age<\/b><\/a><b><\/b><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Article\u2014<\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.marybakereddylibrary.org\/research\/women-of-history-ivimy-gwalter\/\"><b>Women of History: Ivimy Gwalter<\/b><\/a><b><\/b><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Article\u2014<\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.marybakereddylibrary.org\/research\/from-the-collections-christian-science-on-college-and-university-campuses\/\"><b>From the Collections: Christian Science on college and university campuses<\/b><\/a><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Article\u2014<\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.boston.gov\/news\/emma-c-shipman-and-first-church-christ-scientist-1920-womens-voter-registrations\"><b>Emma C.

This episode gives special attention to Sperry, who was Dr. Braude\u2019s grandmother, as well as a Christian Scientist for whom spirituality and art were completely interconnected. Her religious faith conjoined with her study under the famed art teacher Hans Hofmann. She also purchased Jackson Pollock\u2019s last painting in a special effort to learn from it.
