Editing Christian Science practitioner (section)

== System of accreditation ==
Any student of Christian Science may take patients, but only those "listed" as practitioners in the worldwide directory published in ''The Christian Science Journal'' and on the Christian Science website are regarded by the church as experienced healers. The church writes that, to become listed, applicants are interviewed, and must provide references from "three patients who can confirm a complete healing through [the applicant's] prayerful treatment."<ref>[http://christianscience.com/member-resources/for-individuals/christian-science-practitioners/practitioner-applications/(language)/eng-US "Application for Advertising as a Christian Science Practitioner" English version, June 2012] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131203014348/http://christianscience.com/member-resources/for-individuals/christian-science-practitioners/practitioner-applications/%28language%29/eng-US |date=2013-12-03 }} The Mother Church website.</ref> Applicants must also have taken "primary class" instruction by an "authorized teacher of Christian Science" under the aegis of the Christian Science Board of Education, as stipulated in the ''[[Manual of The Mother Church]]'', which governs all activities of the church.<ref>Dickey, Adam.
