About the Committee on Publication

If you’re a member of the media who’s looking for someone to answer your questions, look no further. The Committee on Publication functions much the way a traditional press office does. We’re here to respond to your interview requests and to answer any and all of your questions about Christian Science or The Church of Christ, Scientist.

In spite of its name, the Committee on Publication is not the publishing arm of the Church. Our office is responsible for conveying correct information about Christian Science, its practices, and its discoverer, Mary Baker Eddy. The Committee also works with lawmakers and government regulators to help them understand Christian Science. And Committees in every US state and throughout the world provide information at the local level.

If you’ve watched the video on our media inquiries page, you’ve already met the Manager of the Committee, Phil Davis. The Manager’s role is not to speak on behalf of the members of this church, but rather to ensure that information in the public domain regarding Christian Science is correct. Frequently, that involves being interviewed like a traditional spokesperson. More often, the Manager is working behind the scenes with reporters, editors, and producers to provide the resources they need to produce factually correct journalism.

We welcome your questions and hope you’ll be in touch soon.
