When members of The Mother Church in a community believe the time has come for the organization of a Christian Science Society, or a branch Church of Christ, Scientist, in accordance with Article XXIII, Sections 6 and 7, of the Manual of The Mother Church, they should write for information to The First Church of Christ, Scientist, Department of Branches and Practitioners, in Boston, Massachusetts.
The Christian Science Publishing Society accepts for listing in the Christian Science periodicals only the cards of practitioners and nurses who have first been approved by the Board of Directors of The Mother Church. Following this approval a statement of the amount due for the publication of the cards is sent by the Publishing Society.
Applications for cards should be sent to The First Church of Christ, Scientist, Department of Branches and Practitioners, 107 Falmouth Street, Boston 15, Massachusetts.
