Mary Baker Eddy

[edit]

Hello, I’m an employee at The First Church of Christ, Scientist. The bullet in this article listing Mary Baker Eddy as an adherent is unsourced. Eddy was not an adherent of British Israelism. See Peel, Robert (1977), Mary Baker Eddy: The Years of Authority, Holt, Rinehart, and Winston. pp. 114-119. Would you please consider removing the bullet of Eddy from the list?

I'm inclined to agree solely on the basis that calling her an "adherent" has a deeper implication. However, it should be noted that there are a number of sources that show her attraction to Totten's work and that she did briefly "flirt" with the notion of BI. But that wouldn't, in my mind, qualify as an "adherent". It would need more clear qualification for inclusion elsewhere in the article where the relationship could be more succinctly explained, so I have removed it from the bullet list.
