In January of 1992, a letter went out from The Christian Science Board of Directors to Christian Science teachers and members of Christian Science Students Associations, asking them to share how they, either individually or in their local churches, demonstrated "a pioneering path of relevance for church" within their communities.
The letter reminded readers of a sequence of Journal articles that ran in April, May, and June of 1991, bringing out examples of pioneering church work going on around the globe. These articles looked at areas of the world where new churches were being formed, and examined how some long-established churches were finding more effective ways of serving their communities. Members were asked to share their responses with the Clerk of The Mother Church.
The response has been enormous. From time to time we'd like to share with you some of the letters that have come in.
