At a small church in eastern Canada, which seats only 60 people, 56 came to the meeting—the most they had ever had in their church. At two different churches in California, seating 250 and 255 respectively, they had overflow crowds of 280 and 300.
The meetings were in the interest of Christian Science healing. They're part of a new program to help Christian Scientists everywhere to better understand their role in the healing practice of Christian Science.
Presently, eight representatives of The Mother Church— six in North America, one in Britain, and one in Australia and New Zealand—are traveling in the Field, conducting these special two-day meetings.
