New appointments

The Christian Science Board Of Directors

The Christian Science Board of Directors is pleased to announce the appointment of Ruth Elizabeth Jenks, C.S.B., of Park Forest, Illinois, as Clerk of The Mother Church, effective January 19, 1982. Mrs. Jenks is a practitioner listed in The Christian Science Journal and is also a teacher of Christian Science. From 1976 to 1980 she was a member of The Christian Science Board of Lectureship, and in April 1980 was appointed Manager of the Department of Practitioners and Nursing Activities.

As the new Clerk of The Mother Church, Mrs. Jenks succeeds Robert H. Mitchell, C.S. B., of Edinburgh, Scotland, who was appointed Publisher's Agent, effective January 19. Mr. Mitchell is a Journal-listed practitioner and a teacher of Christian Science. Before his appointment as Clerk in October 1978, Mr. Mitchell served as Committee on Publication for his area, and subsequently, from 1969 to 1973, was a member of The Christian Science Board of Lectureship.

Mr. Mitchell replaces Zadie Hatfield, who decided in January to devote full time to the healing practice of Christian Science. We are deeply grateful to Miss Hatfield for her many years of devoted service to The Mother Church and the Cause of Christian Science. In addition to her most recent appointments as Publisher's Agent and Trustee of The Christian Science Publishing Society, she served ably in many capacities, including Manager of the Publishing Society.
