With 1975 marking 100 years of continuous publishing of Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, as well as the opening of the beautiful new Mother Church portico at the now-completed Church Center, many additional thousands of Christian Scientists from various parts of the world attended this year's Annual Meeting.
Theme of the two-day meeting was "The Power of God's Word." The Annual Meeting itself convened in Boston on Monday afternoon, June 2, with special meetings following Monday evening and all day Tuesday.
Highlight of reports from Church officers Monday afternoon was the announcement of a newly-designed Century Edition of Science and Health and the Bible. The Christian Science Board of Directors in their annual message urged a thorough study and deeper appreciation of the divine authority, the purpose, and the promise of Science and Health. Christian Science, devoutly lived and loved as our Leader presented it in our textbook, meets every human need. It has made practical the power of God's Word, the Directors said. Let us work for spiritual vision to face up to new challenges. And let us never underestimate the power that is released when we work together as a church and as a movement.
