TMC admits new members before Annual Meeting
Dear Fellow Members and Friends,
Once again, I have the happy privilege of writing you to share news of today’s admission of new members.
Applications were received in English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Portuguese, and Spanish and were sent to us from the following locations: Australia, Benin, Brazil, Cameroon, Canada, Cuba, Democratic Republic of Congo (Kinshasa), England, France, Germany, Ghana, India, Italy, Japan, Kenya, Mexico, New Zealand, Nigeria, Philippines, Poland, Puerto Rico, Republic of Congo (Brazzaville), Rwanda, Scotland, South Africa, Switzerland, Togo, United States of America, Uruguay, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.
The newest members of our worldwide church family unite with us as members of the Church defined by Mary Baker Eddy in the Glossary of Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures:
“The Church is that institution, which affords proof of its utility and is found elevating the race, rousing the dormant understanding from material beliefs to the apprehension of spiritual ideas and the demonstration of divine Science, thereby casting out devils, or error, and healing the sick.”
Our gratitude goes out to all members and Christian Science teachers who support the admission of new members through their prayers and by approving and countersigning applications. Applications for membership are welcome at any time. The next admission of new members will take place on November 6, 2009. Completed applications must be received by the Office of the Clerk no later than November 2.
As a reminder, the Annual Meeting of The Mother Church will take place on Monday, June 8. If you are not able to be in Boston , we hope you are able to join everyone here via the Internet. There are several meetings and other activities over the weekend. For more information, please visit the Annual Meeting webpage.
With heartfelt love and appreciation for each of you,
Nate Talbot
Clerk of The Mother Church
