Dear Members and Friends,
It has been a joy to share news with you from the Clerk’s Office over this last decade. As conveyed in the October 1 announcement, I’ll be concluding my work as Clerk and member of the Christian Science Board of Directors on November 3.

And they have acted on this vision by applying for membership. Admission takes place at a regular business meeting of the Christian Science Board of Directors as required in the Church Manual. This morning [November 1] the Board voted to admit new members to our worldwide Church family.
