Announcements

Dear Fellow Members of The Mother Church, It is a special privilege, as the first Australian President of The Mother Church, to be writing to you with assurance of our gratitude and love. My appointment not only recognizes the Australian Field but also the loving embrace of The Mother Church for the whole world.

Every three years, the Board of Education, an auxiliary to the Massachusetts Metaphysical College, holds a Normal class to train and authorize dedicated practitioners of Christian Science healing to take on the additional responsibility of teaching this healing practice to others. For the first time, the entire membership of The Mother Church was invited to prayerfully support this activity so fundamental to our Church and our Cause.

On November 6, 2015 , the Christian Science Board of Directors voted to welcome new members to our worldwide church family. The election of new members takes place at a regular business meeting of the Board of Directors and is required in the Church Manual.

Dear Fellow Members and Friends, With our deep appreciation for his service to the Cause of Christian Science, Russ Gerber, C. S.

The following invitation was published in a few 2014 issues of the Journal . We publish it again as a reminder of the ongoing opportunity we all have to contribute to the Journal ’s healing purpose.

June 5, 2015 Dear Members and Friends,  It is a joy and a privilege for me to share news of today’s 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.

Editor’s note: Annually, we introduce our readers to those who will be lecturing for the Christian Science Board of Lectureship during the coming lecture year which runs from July to June. We asked the co-managers of the lecturing activity, Heloísa Gelber Rivas and Chet Manchester, to give us a preview of the new lecture year.

Dear Fellow Members, This invitation to Annual Meeting 2015 is being sent to each one of you wrapped with so much love and expectancy of good! We are called of God to join in a special time of coming together and growing together, of continuing to build on the foundation of Christ-healing that is central to this Church. Each of you is essential— invaluable —to carrying forward this great Cause.

We’re happy to let you know that there has been an important addition to the editorial staff. As of March 30, Barbara Vining, CSB, has joined us as Associate Editor for The Christian Science Journal, the Christian Science Sentinel, and The Herald of Christian Science.

Dear cherished Members, With joyful anticipation we’re looking forward to being together at Annual Meeting on Monday, June 8, 2015. For Christian Scientists, Annual Meeting day has always been special, perhaps because it makes us more conscious of how all of us are working together in this unique Cause, and everyone is so greatly needed and valued.
