Dear Fellow Members and Friends,
After 11 years of dedicated and immensely productive service as a member of the Christian Science Board of Directors, Mary (Trinka) Trammell, CSB, has asked to resign from the Board. Trinka’s fellow workers at The Mother Church in Boston, as well as church members worldwide who have met her on her tireless travels and through her many articles in the Christian Science periodicals, will join us in a chorus of gratitude for all she has contributed to the forward movement of this Church. Our thanks extend to her husband, Talbot, and their whole family for their faithful support of her work.
Trinka left a university teaching career for the full-time practice of Christian Science healing, following in the footsteps of both her parents. She became a teacher of Christian Science in 1991, and went on to serve The Mother Church in many capacities, including Editor of the Christian Science periodicals, before joining the Board in 2001. In all her forms of service—practitioner, teacher, lecturer, author, administrator—Trinka’s humility, spirituality, and love have won the respect and affection of her colleagues. She has been a shining example of how a quiet voice carries a powerful message. Most recently she taught the 2012 Normal Class of the Board of Education. Of her experience with this class Trinka says, "What a privilege it was to be with that extraordinary group of devoted Christian Scientists, representing 12 countries on five continents!"
