Gartrell-Mills summarizes her 1991 D.Phil thesis in this article focusing on the historical role of Christian Science in Britain. Although into the early 1990s Christian Science retained “an unobtrusive, yet persistent presence in many British towns and cities,” she found that the organization was “a present day example of a movement largely ossified through the provisions and statutes laid down before 1910 by Mary Baker Eddy.”

Gartrell-Mills’s Part II continues her study of Christian Science in 20th century Britain, examining the initial negative reaction of the public, medical establishment, and Anglican Church. But then she finds ways in which Christian Science eventually contributed to more favorable medical attitudes toward spiritual considerations, and the Anglican Church’s opening up to spiritual forms of healing.
