From the Directors

The Christian Science Board of Directors with contributions from The Christian Science Board of Directors, The Christian Science Publishing Society

Mary Baker Eddy writes, "Christian Scientists are practically non-resistants; they are too occupied with doing good, observing the Golden Rule, to retaliate or to seek redress; they are not quacks, giving birth to nothing and death to all,—but they are leaders of a reform in religion and in medicine, and they have no craft that is in danger."^{ Message to The Mother Church for 1901, p. 30.}

Many church members find this both demanding and refreshing as they examine their own capacities to practice an unchanging Science while keeping pace with a rapidly changing world in art, invention, government, and environment.

Mrs. Eddy recognized that fair, clear, and accurate reporting of the news of the world was integral to the spiritual mission of The Mother Church and its Publishing Society. Is it surprising that her generous and dynamic vision continues to find new expression (and even new resistance) as the means of human communication expand so rapidly?
