Dear Members and Friends of The Mother Church,  Mary Baker Eddy had a grand vision for youth in her movement. In her Church Manual , she invited those twelve and older into active church membership ( Article IV, Section 3 ); she asked every branch church to nurture youth in their communities through Sunday Schools ( Article XX ); and she encouraged the presence of Christian Science on college and university campuses through Christian Science organizations ( Article XXIII, Section 8 ).
