From the author: Christian Scientists' refusal of medical care for their children illustrates the kind of conflict over moral and practical authority that can arise, between groups in a pluralistic society. While consensus may, not be possible, changes in the way, both groups socialize members may allow the medical and Christian Science communities to achieve a compromise that is respectful to both.
