Dear Members and Friends,
As mentioned at Annual Meeting, our Clerk, Laurie Richardson, notified the Board of Directors that she would be stepping away from her position as Clerk and returning to her home in Missouri. We have all been truly blessed to have her thoughtful metaphysics, evident love of The Mother Church, care of its members, and guidance of the Clerk’s Department while serving in this capacity the past three years. It’s hard to imagine anyone more dedicated to this Church’s worldwide membership than Laurie, especially considering the unusual needs of these past few years. We are immensely grateful to her and expect to see her around Boston through the end of summer, when she heads off to continue her teaching and practice of Christian Science from her St. Louis-area home. We have appreciated the support provided by Laurie’s husband, Rich Allen.
We are pleased to announce that Martha Moffett, a Christian Science practitioner and teacher from Minnesota, joined the Clerk’s Office as Laurie’s successor, taking on the Church Manual appointment as Clerk on July 1. Martha has served as a member of the Board of Lectureship, as Committee on Publication for Minnesota, and in many other capacities for her branch church and the movement. We are overjoyed that Martha agreed to accept this important officer appointment from The Mother Church.
