\nWatch this video to learn how The Principle Foundation, (a Christian Science benevolence organization) is now eager to provide short-term grants and needed supplies so that returning citizens can more quickly integrate back into society, start attending a Christian Science church, and meet people–like you–who will inspire them to move onward and upward.

\nEven those who have studied Christian Science on the inside can be overwhelmed when they’re released.
