From random, violent attacks, such as the one that killed 12 innocent people in Northern England earlier this year to crimes like robbery, assault, and rape, all of us long to be safe. The Bible offers much guidance in how to escape violence and also how to overcome it. "The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?" asks the Psalmist (Ps. 27:1). Can such trust in God translate into modern times and help to free us from fear and give us confidence if we should find ourselves in trouble? For healing answers, bring your concerns and your insights to this live chat with an experienced Christian Science healer.

About John Tyler: John started his professional life working briefly as a labor organizer to protect exploited sweatshop workers. As a social activist he was concerned with solving “all the world’s problems.” He was involved in spiritual counseling of inmates in a state penitentiary. Having earned degrees from schools on both sides of the Atlantic—at the Institut d’Etudes Politiques, Paris, and Princeton University, USA—he taught political science at Princeton and at the University of Pittsburgh. While teaching at the University of Pittsburgh, he founded a residence for students that seeks to heal racial divisions in America. For his involvement in this project he received the YWCA’s Racial Justice Award.

John Tyler lives in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where he works as a Christian Science practitioner and teacher.
