The Board of Education announces a new class of Christian Science teachers

- Church News


Every three years, the Board of Education, an auxiliary to the Massachusetts Metaphysical College, holds a Normal class to train and authorize dedicated practitioners of Christian Science healing to take on the additional responsibility of teaching this healing method to others. We’re delighted to announce that a new group of teachers has successfully completed the 2012 Normal class, which was held in early December.

Mary (Trinka) Trammell, C.S.B., of Boston, Massachusetts, taught the class. Trinka earned a PhD in English Literature and taught at Florida Atlantic University before devoting herself to the full-time practice of Christian Science healing. In 1991 she became an authorized teacher of Christian Science. Readers of the Journal know her well, as she has not only served as Editor of the Church’s periodicals, but as a lecturer, Church Historian, Vice-President of the Board of Education, Director of The Mother Church, and co-author of the book, The Reforming Power of the Scriptures.

The 2012 Normal class was the most internationally diverse class in our Church’s history, with students who will teach and strengthen the practice of Christian Science in 12 different countries: Angola, Argentina, Cameroon, Democratic Republic of Congo, England, Germany, Northern Ireland, Kenya, Philippines, New Zealand, Spain, and the United States.

Below is a list of authorized teachers of Christian Science who currently teach Primary classes of instruction in Christian Science healing.  Members of the most recent class have an (*) by their names.
