Cherishing her Congregational roots—Mary Baker Eddy and the Boutons

May 1, 2024

This month the Mary Baker Eddy Library staff looks at the impact Mary Baker Eddy’s early religious formation had on her teachings, as well as on her leadership of the Christian Science church. Raised in New Hampshire, Eddy received religious instruction from some of the state’s most prominent ministers. That included the Reverend Nathaniel Bouton, pastor of its largest Congregational church, located in the capital city of Concord. Eddy Bouton’s influence was profound, both in terms of his Christian character and his erudition. . . As the library's guest speaker indicates, Bouton deserves recognition as “a vital part of the history of Christian Science.”
