From The Christian Science Board of Directors

Commitment to The Mother Church

From the May 1995 issue of The Christian Science Journal


At this essential time in the history and work of our movement, it is appropriate and timely to call to the attention of members of The Mother Church this By-Law from Article VIII of the Church Manual by Mary Baker Eddy:

Church Organizations Ample, sect. 15. Members of this Church shall not unite with organizations which impede their progress in Christian Science. God requires our whole heart, and He supplies within the wide channels of The Mother Church dutiful and sufficient occupation for all its members.

The struggle against what Mrs. Eddy calls "the advancing spiritual era" is apparently not only from without, but also, to a degree, from within the membership of our Church. The anonymous group calling itself the mailing fund is striving to overturn the Manual-authorized government of The Mother Church. Any group that has such a purpose impedes the progress in Christian Science of those who are in any way associated with it.
