LONG READ: The Faith that Motivated Nancy Astor by Robin Harragin Hussey

We are delighted to post a LONG READ by Robin Harragin Hussey on a much overlooked but fundamental influence on the life of Nancy Astor – her adherence to Christian Science . Any collection on Astor would be incomplete without an exploration of her faith.Robin studied Religious Studies at Sussex University and gained a Masters and PGCE from Kings College, London. A lifelong Christian Scientist, she has worked to present religion to her students and in a wider arena as a medium through which change for good and healing can be effected. Most recently she was appointed Christian Science Committee on Publication, London and District Manager of the Committees on Publication in UK and Ireland. This position involves liaising with the media and legislature on issues to do with Christian Science.
