Ryder Stevens, CS
As a graduate from the Boston University School of Theology with a Masters of Divinity degree in Old Testament History and Theology, he has a vibrant love of the Bible. He served the US Army as a military chaplain for 23 years, endorsed by The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and visited over 47 countries. He was stationed in Germany for a total of ten years.
In the military, he found the practical teachings of Christian Science opened the Scriptures and helped him reach people from vastly different backgrounds and faiths. The Christian Science Bible Lesson was the basis of his preaching in general Protestant services, as well as for the prayer breakfasts he conducted. This biblical basis of his preaching was the reason he was selected to serve as interim pastor for African American Gospel services.
His chaplaincy work included resolving conflicts in countries torn apart by civil war and developing local Peace Keeping military forces with high ethical and moral foundations in Sub-Saharan Africa. Ryder found the application of Christian Science especially helpful when working with faith-based Non-Government Organizations during crises from war, earthquakes, and disasters.
He enjoys sharing the biblical “primitive” Christianity that is Christian Science. A Christian Science Journal listed practitioner since 1995, he has had calls for Christian Science healing regularly since 1976. Ryder is a frequent contributor to the Christian Science periodicals, spirituality.com, and Radio Sentinel.
