Mary Baker Eddy's Church—Responding in the New Century

Tuesday's program featured "Mary Baker Eddy's Church—Responding in the New Century," which explored ways to respond to humanity's search for spiritual answers. Participants included: Achim Trapp, member of The Christian Science Board of Lectureship and the new President of The Mother Church; Irmela Wigger, member of The Christian Science Board of Lectureship; Michael Seek, Managing Editor of Der Herold der Christian Science; Mary Trammell, a member of The Christian Science Board of Directors and Editor of the Christian Science religious periodicals; and Margarita Thatcher, Managing Editor of The Herald of Christian Science, and 24 speakers from across Europe. The session opened with a dialogue between Achim Trapp and Irmela Wigger in German.

Achim Trapp: During this session we're going to cover several different points. First, how are people reaching out for spiritual answers today? And second, what opportunities do we have to respond to these seekers? We're going to look at Mary Baker Eddy's life, her ideas, and the Church she established as a model for what we can do today. And third, we'll look at what we are doing to respond to this spiritual search by seekers.
