On January 23, 2004, The Christian Science Board of Directors circulated the following letter to employees at The First Church of Christ, Scientist; The Christian Science Publishing Society; and The Mary Baker Eddy Library for the Betterment of Humanity.
Dear Employee:
January marks a new year, but this year is not just another year. The Board expects 2004 will be a significant and defining year for our movement and for humanity. It will, to some degree, signal the beginning of the next century for Christian Science. This next century is not so much about a calendar change, as it is about a change in mental vigor, outlook, and response.
