I've always felt a connection to Elder Hanks, as he set me apart as a missionary on this day, 9 October, in 1967. Thank you for the interesting article about his involvement in acquiring and displaying the Christus!

Good choice! The Christus statue does a beautiful job of focusing on the resurrection, which Christian Scientists also deeply appreciate.
Yes, the tours at the Christian Science Center in Boston have never emphasized proselytizing. Any visitor who shows a genuine interest or asks of course receives answers. Paul's guidance was, "If there be first a willing mind..." (II Corinthians 8:12)
