Note: this episode focuses more on where the Christian Science Reading Room is located and what's inside the building rather than the teachings of their parent church, which is First Church of Christ, Scientist in Maumee. Information shared in this episode comes from their website, ChatGPT, and materials I was given by volunteers when I stopped by over the holidays (2025).
