FROM THE Directors

"... our whole heart" and "not less than one dollar"

The Christian Science Board of Directors

"God requires our whole heart, and He supplies within the wide channels of The Mother Church dutiful and sufficient occupation for all its members" (Manual of The Mother Church, Art. VIII, Sect. 15).

"Every member of The Mother Church shall pay annually a per capita tax of not less than one dollar, which shall be forwarded each year to the Church Treasurer" (Church Manual, Art. VIII, Sect. 13).

In these two Manual provisions one can see Mary Baker Eddy's guidance on questions about ways to support church projects: dollar contributions are a variable; heart contributions are total.
