MILFORD

Lecture on ‘Science and Christianity’

International speaker Mary Alice Rose will present a talk titled “The Science of Christianity” at 2 p.m. Feb. 2 at the Milford Town Hall, One Union Square.

Rose’s ideas are based on the teachings of Jesus as recorded in the Bible, and as discussed in “Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures” by Mary Baker Eddy.

Rose’s interest in science and technology led to a 20-year career in different areas of applied physical science. Her work ranged from a meteorologist for the National Severe Storms Laboratory to a manager developing the ground system for the Hubble Space Telescope. In 2002, she made the transition from manager, engineer, and earth scientist to the full-time ministry as a Christian Science practitioner.
