The Editor of The Christian Science Monitor talks about its mission; how Mary Baker Eddy treated antagonistic journalists at one time; and how each of us—whether readers, journalists, or lawmakers—can follow Mrs. Eddy’s example and the example Jesus gives in the parable of the good Samaritan with regard to how we think and pray about the news, newsmakers, and journalists, and how we think and pray regarding people who may have very different views.

Admission of New Members

We are delighted and grateful to be able to share with you the happy news of the recent admission of new members to The Mother Church from around the world.

“Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!” ( Psalms 107:15 ).   This psalm, together with many others in this year’s Thanksgiving Bible Lesson, shows us that gratitude is inseparable from praising God.

Keeping our periodicals timely and relevant

This is a recording of a conversation with the Christian Science Board of Directors and the Board of Trustees of The Christian Science Publishing Society about the initiatives mentioned in this announcement. divider In many ways,  our Church’s periodicals represent a covenant between Christian Scientists of today and the discovery found in the textbook of Christian Science, Mary Baker Eddy’s  Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures.
