Eric Nelson serves as the media and legislative spokesperson for Christian Science in Northern California (a.k.a. the Committee on Publication). As part of this work he also writes a self-syndicated column called “Consciousness & Health” that appears in a number of local, regional, and national online publications, including American Public Media’s “On Being” blog and The Washington Times.
His media work entails keeping in touch with news editors, producers, and reporters on various issues relating to the practice of Christian Science including prayer-based health care, spirituality, and the confluence between science and religion. His recent legislative work on both the state and federal level involves the legal accommodation of the practice of Christian Science, especially as it relates to health care.
Prior to this, Eric worked for a number of years as a marketing consultant and video producer, and as the co-founder of a Silicon Valley start-up company that provided web-based video tools and products to the travel industry.
In addition to his work with the media and state and federal legislatures, Eric also works as a Christian Science practitioner based in Los Altos.
