Church Alive

CHURCH. The structure of Truth and Love; whatever rests upon and proceeds from divine Principle.
The Church is that institution, which affords proof of its utility and is found elevating the race, rousing the dormant understanding from material beliefs to the apprehension of spiritual ideas and the demonstration of divine Science, thereby casting out devils, or error, and healing the sick.
– Mary Baker Eddy, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures

The Christian Science Board of Directors goes to Africa

First Church of Christ, Scientist, Kenya

As an employee of the International Service Department (ISD) at The Mother Church, I was delighted when asked to help plan and accompany the Christian Science Board of Directors on a visit in March to Nigeria, Ghana, and Kenya. The Board wanted to join hands with African members of The Mother Church as a Church family, to further unite and strengthen the Christian Science movement. Here is the story of that visit, including observations from the Board.
