Mary Baker Eddy wisely and lovingly provided for the continuity of her teaching by the establishment of a Board of Education. Every third year, applications are cordially invited from qualified Christian Science practitioners who love and actively practice the healing ministry and are ready to assume the responsibility of becoming authorized teachers of Christian Science. The ability to heal is primary. This is not only implied but is directly referred to in the By-Law "Healing Better than Teaching" (Manual of The Mother Church by Mrs. Eddy, Art. XXX, Sect. 7).
Practitioners listed in The Christian Science Journal who wish to apply for the Normal class to be held in December 1979 should request an application as soon as possible from:
The First Church of Christ, Scientist
Board of Education, A-235
Christian Science Center
Boston, Massachusetts, U.S.A. 02115
Completed applications should be submitted to the Board of Education promptly and not later than May 1, 1979. Qualified applicants will be selected for the class in accordance with the provisions of the Church Manual. Selection is based not alone on the qualifications of the individual but also upon the need for an authorized teacher where the applicant resides.
