Dear Fellow Members:
The Christian Science Publishing Society has been prayerfully considering our Leader’s counsel about the need for focus. She writes: “Christian Science is not an exception to the general rule, that there is no excellence without labor in a direct line. One cannot scatter his fire, and at the same time hit the mark” (Mary Baker Eddy, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p. 457).
To better focus our efforts, we are asking ourselves with each current initiative and new idea, “Does this actively strengthen and further Church members’ individual practice of Christian Science? Does it support Christian Science branch churches and societies?” This emphasis has provided a fresh opportunity to consider how our work corresponds to the Manual of The Mother Church by Mrs. Eddy and decisions she made about her Church and its periodicals.
