The following are excerpts of letters received from new members during the past year. It's inspiring to read the letters that often accompany new applications for membership in The Mother Church. During this year new members have united from fifty-six countries, including the first Mother Church members in Benin, Africa, the first member in Romania since 1980, and the first new members in Cuba and Honduras in several years.
Many new members are Sunday School students who bring with them an energetic commitment to spiritual healing. Members have come from countries on the continents of Africa, Asia, Europe, and North and South America.
Although written in many languages and mailed from all corners of the globe, letters from new members, and from those who have approved new applications for membership, often share common themes: deep joy in discovering Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy; gratitude for spiritual healings experienced through the study of Christian Science; and desire to share Christian healing with others. We feel that readers of the Journal will enjoy the freshness freshness and enthusiasm of their comments.
