The Christian Science Association of the Pupils of Anetta G. Schneider practices Christian Science, a religion that believes true reality is spiritual, not material. Where medicine asserts something is physically "broken" and needs to be fixed, Christian Science asserts spiritual reality is perfect and contrary beliefs need to be corrected. Prayer is not asking God to intervene, but learning to spiritualize thought in order to perceive the perfect spiritual reality where illness does not exist. Teachers of Christian Science like Anetta G. Schneider instruct others and provide a lifetime commitment of annual Association meetings with teaching continuing even after the teacher has passed on.
