Dedication of a branch church or society is a public affirmation of the importance of Church in the lives of Christian Scientists and in the community. When an edifice is free of debt, churches and societies often hold a dedicatory service.

Dear Fellow Members of The Mother Church, Some years ago, I timidly walked into a meeting room in Austin, Texas, where three dedicated workers with the Committees on Publication Manager’s office from Boston were waiting. They had come to talk to me about the position of State Committee.

Every three years, the Board of Education, an auxiliary to the Massachusetts Metaphysical College, holds a Normal class to prepare and authorize dedicated practitioners of Christian Science to teach this healing practice. This past year the entire membership of The Mother Church was specially invited to prayerfully support this Manual- authorized class, and the response to this request was immediate and effective.

Dear Members and Friends, It is a joy and a privilege for me to share news of the recent admission of new members. Admission takes place at a regular business meeting of the Christian Science Board of Directors and is required in the Church Manual.

Dear Members and Friends, When Skip Phinney told us of his desire to step down from serving on the Christian Science Board of Directors at the end of December, we were tempted to try to talk him out of it. But when he reminded us that he first came to serve the Church in 1960, we realized our only legitimate response was to express profound gratitude for the many ways his service has strengthened The Mother Church and the Cause of Christian Science.

Dear Members and Friends, We are very happy to let you know that Barbara Fife, CSB, of Vancouver, Canada, has assumed the office of Clerk of The Mother Church as of October 1, 2018. Barbara has served Church in many ways, as an active branch church member, a Christian Science practitioner and teacher, and a member of the Board of Lectureship.

Whether you read the print editions of The Christian Sci ence Journal and Sentinel exclusively or also subscribe to JSH-Online. com, we deeply value your commitment to the healing ideas we publish and are always grateful for your feedback.

Dear Members and Friends, It has been a joy to share news with you from the Clerk’s office over the last several years. As conveyed in an announcement in April, I’ll be concluding my work as Clerk later in June.
