My dear friend,
You mentioned in your letter that you are discouraged with the progress you are making in your branch Church of Christ, Scientist. You say the members don't seem to value your opinion.
Do you remember our discussion before you joined the church when you asked what was the best way to gain a more practical grasp of Christian Science? Do you remember the answer? It was on-the-job training. What better place to gain a practical understanding of what it is to be Christlike than in a branch church!
