In December the 1997 Normal class (a class for preparing teachers of Christian Science) was held by the Board of Education of The First Church of Christ, Scientist, as provided for in the Manual of The Mother Church by Mary Baker Eddy (see Art. XXVI, Sect. 4).
Applications for the 1997 class again showed a full and wide-ranging interest in this activity provided for in the Church Manual. Selection of the members of the 1997 Normal class was made not only on the basis of individual qualifications, but also with a view to the geographical needs for Christian Science teachers at this time.
This is a time of growing realization of the intestimable worth of spirituality in the lives of men and women throughout the world. This triennial class, held under Article XXVI, Section 4, of the Church Manual, together with other classes that have come before it, will continue to respond to and meet the spiritual needs of this age.
The teacher of the class, elected by The Christian Science Board of Directors, is Ruth Elizabeth Jenks, C.S.B., of Chicago, Illinois, practitioner and teacher of Christian Science.
Mrs. Jenks has served The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in a number of ways, having worked as Clerk of The Mother Church beginning in 1982. The following year she was elected to The Christian Science Board of Directors and served in that capacity until 1990. In 1994 Mrs. Jenks was again elected to The Christian Science Board of Lectureship, having served previously from 1976 to 1980, and she traveled throughout the world in this capacity. The Board of Directors elected Mrs. Jenks President of The Mother Church for 1994-1995.
The 1997 class was composed of students who will provide new teachers in the United States from Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, New Mexico, and Tennessee.
For the convenience of our readers, we are also publishing here a list of those who expect to teach Primary classes in Christian Science and who are authorized to use the designation C.S.B. They conduct classes yearly, and their full addresses are shown in the directory listing of practitioners and teachers. If a teacher resides in a state or country other than where he or she conducts classes, the teacher's home residence is indicated in parentheses. Not included in the following list are the names of those teachers who are conducting their association meetings but no longer teaching Primary' classes.
