Manual of the Mother Church: The First Church of Christ Scientist in Boston, Massachusetts

The 'Manual of the Mother Church' is a religious text written by Mary Baker Eddy and first published in 1895. It outlines the rules, bylaws, and tenets of The First Church of Christ, Scientist, which Eddy founded in Boston, Massachusetts. The manual serves as an official guide for church administration and practices, emphasizing the principles of Christian Science, healing, and spiritual understanding. It reflects the collaborative efforts of early church members to create a creedless place of worship based on the Bible and Eddy's work, 'Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures.'
