Restoration and progress in a Reading Room

with contributions from Geraldine Schiering, Grace Young

From the October 1993 issue of The Christian Science Journal

Almost all branch churches have to face, at one time or another, some soul-searching questions about their Reading Room: Why is our Reading Room here? Are we accomplishing our goals? Are we truly serving our community, or are we just existing? These moments of self-examination are often the precursor to progress—to the spiritual renewal and forward movement of a Reading Room that the challenges facing today 's world are demanding of us. It may take deep prayer and perseverance to bring those first yearnings for Reading Room renewal to fruition.
