December 16, 2010 By washingtoncommittee 8 Comments

The Tourist logo

Ever wonder how misunderstandings get started or continue to be perpetuated?  In his recent espionage novel, “The Tourist,” author Olen Steinhauer has presented a view of Christian Science that regrettably feeds existing misperceptions and even creates new ones. Since it is a New York Times best-seller and the film rights have been purchased by actor […]

Commentary: “The Lost Symbol” by Dan Brown

November 30, 2010 By washingtoncommittee 6 Comments

Dan Brown

Like his previous thriller, “The Da Vinci Code,” Dan Brown’s current best seller takes the reader on a fascinating tour of architectural symbols, statuary and cryptic meaning.  No longer centered in Rome or Paris, “The Lost Symbol” is all about the U.S. capitol in Washington D.C.

He’s been gone for almost half a century, still he has been mentioned in the local Seattle media at least a half dozen times in 2010 alone.  The life of Roy Olmstead (1886-1966) is a compelling story since he is considered by some as one of the most romantic figures in Seattle’s history.  It’s no […]

Books on health care

Here’s an interesting post from Russ Gerber, Media Manager for the Christian Science Committee on Publication. Enjoy! November 15, 2010 In case you were having doubts, here’s a reminder: health is normal. It’s easy to lose sight of that given all the books and reports and advertisements insisting that it’s not. Gloomy statistics fill in […]

Revelation

National Bible Week in the US is coming up–it begins this year on November 21.  The goal is “to raise awareness of the Bible’s importance and relevance to our nation as a whole, as well as in the lives of individuals.”  This goal was established when National Bible Week began in the midst of WWII […]

Commentary on The Black Eyed Peas’ “Where is the Love?”

November 1, 2010 By washingtoncommittee 9 Comments

DJ

Remember The Black Eyed Peas’ first hit rap song of 2004, “Where is the Love?” replete with rhyming lyrics like livin’ and givin’, mama, drama trauma?  Don’t listen to rap music?  No worries.  As my wife will readily attest, I’m not exactly “down” myself.  I’m not even sure what that means. Nonetheless, whenever I hear […]

GUEST BLOG POST: Tony Lobl, my colleague in the UK, provides an insightful commentary on an article in the November issue of The Atlantic magazine. “Are 90% of all medical studies wrong — including nearly half of those claimed to be the most reliable?

Professionally, I'm a licensed architect in both Washington and California State. I love architecture, but when it comes to priorities, it’s hard to top good health. That’s why I’ve shifted my interest from the physical to the mental environment that we abide in. My articles focus on presenting helpful ideas regarding the important connection between what we think and our health. I’ve been writing for Blogcritics and other online and print publications since 2011 and I was published in the international medical/science journal, "Global Advances in Health and Medicine" in 2012. I also serve as the media and legislative liaison for Christian Science in Washington State. Feel free to contact me at: washington@compub.org, 206-349-1229 or on Twitter @WilliamEdScott.
