Item of Interest

Army regulations provide that individuals, upon induction into service, may give their denominational or religious preferences or afflications and have the same recorded, although they are not required to do so. This means that a person if he so desires may state for the official record that his religious preference is that of Christian Science.

Experience shows that it is most desirable for Christian Scientists entering the armed forces to take advantage of these military regulations. Registration in this way, instead of merely as Protestants, enables our authorized workers to locate Christian Scientists in order to offer assistance, and it aids Christian Scientists in the forces to find one another. Taking a stand in stating a preference for Christian Science also strengthens moral courage and brings benefits of untold value.

Parents and other relatives of Christian Scientists entering the service are urged to recommend that they register as Christian Scientists. Those already in the service may request a change in their registration at any time.
