Founded in 1987, its 119 members are made up of faith groups, individuals, and organizations such as the National Council of Churches.

Dear Members and Friends, You’ve been hearing   quite a bit from The Mother Church about “the spirit of Christ calling us together. ”* Check out Margaret Rogers’s January Journal editorial if you missed it.

After seven years as Soloist of The Mother Church, Julia Wade will complete her service at the end of April 2012. We are deeply grateful to Julia for her dedication and devotion of thought to The Mother Church services, both English and Spanish, as well as for her performances and workshops during Annual Meeting weekends.

As you know, our good friend Marta Greenwood, C. S.

We are writing to share with you several changes in the roles and responsibilities of members of the management team of The Christian Science Publishing Society. With deep gratitude for new milestones recently achieved in the level of audience engagement with The Christian Science Monitor, and with the still challenging road ahead to reach longer-term objectives, we have asked Jonathan Wells to return full time to his role as Managing Publisher of The Christian Science Monitor.

Dear fellow members and friends,  What is social media? Social media has become a prominent means for connecting with others, getting information, and sharing inspiration. Thousands of you are already following The Mother Church on our Facebook and/or Twitter pages.

For those who may have missed last month’s News @ CSPS “Next Tuesday, a Year from Now—Is 90 Days Away,” we’re reiterating information about the upcoming JSH-Online subscription as well as giving you new information on pricing. About a year ago the concept of a comprehensive online Journal, Sentinel, and Herald subscription was introduced, and each new day brings us closer to that high goal.

In the  Manual of The Mother Church,  Mary Baker Eddy provides for the continuity of her teaching through the establishment of the Board of Education. Article XXIX, Section 2, states: “Loyal Christian Scientists’ pupils who so desire may apply to the Board of Education for instruction; and if they have practised Christian Science healing successfully three years and will furnish evidence of their eligibility therefor, they are eligible to enter the Normal class.

Dear Members and Friends of The Mother Church,  Mary Baker Eddy had a grand vision for youth in her movement. In her Church Manual , she invited those twelve and older into active church membership ( Article IV, Section 3 ); she asked every branch church to nurture youth in their communities through Sunday Schools ( Article XX ); and she encouraged the presence of Christian Science on college and university campuses through Christian Science organizations ( Article XXIII, Section 8 ).

It seems like only yesterday that the idea of a digital Journal , Sentinel, and Herald  subscription was introduced in this column. The article “Next Tuesday, a Year from Now” ( Journal, March 2011) suggested a day when readers would be seamlessly supported by the Christian Science periodicals in their daily study of Christian Science in both print and digital formats.
