MISSION STATEMENT

Expressive Communication Services is dedicated to serving any student of sacred texts, with special focus on supporting those who read aloud divinely-inspired writings.  We do this by offering a set of principles, tools, and techniques designed to deepen scholarly understanding, and elevate that scholarly understanding to a higher spiritual dimension of heart-felt understanding.  Once this heart-felt level of understanding is achieved, Readers are shown how to use all of their natural communication skills to read aloud according to standards established in the Holy Bible and by Mary Baker Eddy.  Together, these principles, tools, and techniques empower Readers to read in ways that inspire and motivate their listeners.

The goal of this approach is to generate reading that has tangible, beneficial effects on the listeners—effects such as helping them:

  1. Progress along their spiritual and human journeys
  2. Live happier, more productive lives
  3. Enjoy good health
  4. Experience spiritual healing
  5. Learn how to invoke God’s healing power
  6. Inspire listeners to bring spiritual healing to others

Principles of Expressive Reading for Christian Science Services

An approach to studying and reading that reveals standards established by the Holy Bible and Mary Baker Eddy; and how to achieve these standards.
