Activities for the Armed Services

The following report from Australia has been received by Christian Science Activities for the Armed Services and is shared with the Field.

For eight years after the end of World War II The Mother Church and its branches did not carry on organized Christian Science activities for armed forces personnel and veterans in Australia. However, because of continuing world tensions and the consequent need for the National Service Training program in Australia, Christian Science Activities for the Armed Services appointed a Christian Science Minister for the Armed Services in that country. This man has performed the functions of a Minister and has also supervised our activities there. Today we have two Ministers and one Christian Science Representative in the Armed Services "down under."

We are grateful to report that the Army, Navy, and Air Force High Commands in Australia have recognized Christian Science Activities for the Armed Services and have granted permission for Christian Science Ministers to visit camps and hospitals.
