As I viewed the two beautiful black women on the cover of the December 13, 2004, Sentinel, "A journey toward peace," I could only think of how far the Church of Christ, Scientist, has come.

Growing up as a black Christian Scientist in Kansas during the 1950's, I encountered racism in the church, such that my grandmother, who had introduced us to Christian Science, felt she had been passed over as First Reader because of her race.

Now we have a dutiful black President of The Mother Church, who is relating to the black community. A black Gospel choir singing in The Mother Church—unbelievable! (Black music is what I miss most being in a "white" church such as ours!)
