Dear Members and Friends,
Once again, I have the happy privilege of writing you to share news of today’s admission of new members. Admission takes place at a regular business meeting of the Christian Science Board of Directors and is required in the Church Manual. This morning the Board voted to admit new members to our worldwide church family.
Applications for this Admission were received in English, French, German, Indonesian, Portuguese and Spanish and were sent to us from the following locations: Argentina, Australia, Benin, Brazil, Cameroon, Canada, Democratic Republic of Congo, Finland, France, Germany, Ghana, Greece, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Italy, Kenya, Mexico, Nicaragua, Nigeria, Peru, Philippines, Republic of Congo, South Africa, Spain, Switzerland, Tanzania, The Netherlands, Togo, Uganda, United Kingdom, United States of America, Uruguay, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.
These newest members of our worldwide church family unite with us in making a commitment to the Cause that Mary Baker Eddy referred to as “the greatest and holiest of all causes” (Miscellaneous Writings 1883-1896, p. 177).
If you are a Facebook user and would like to extend a personal welcome to these new members, you can comment on the welcome note on the Church’s Facebook page: The Mother Church — The First Church of Christ, Scientist.
As always, our sincere gratitude goes out to all members and Christian Science teachers who support the admission of new members through their prayers and by approving and countersigning applications.
Applications for membership are welcome at any time. The next admission of new members will take place on November 1, 2013. Completed applications must be received by the Office of the Clerk no later than October 29.
With heartfelt love and appreciation for each of you,
Nathan Talbot
Clerk of The Mother Church
