FOR CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHURCH, FRESH FOCUS ON HEALING, YOUTH OUTREACH

BY GREGORY M. LAMB STAFF WRITER OF THE CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR

THE CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR

At its annual meeting Monday [June 5] at its Boston headquarters, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, rededicated itself to being "a Church of healers," a phrase that provided the meeting's theme. Church members and friends gathered to hear reports and talks on the centrality of Christian healing to the church's mission.

The meeting, held in the church's domed edifice, was broadcast live over the Internet. The webcast is available for replay at www.tfccs.com.

"The healing of limitations, frustrations, estrangements, fears, as well as the healing of sin, sickness, and death," is the goal the church continues to cherish, said the five-member board of directors in a written welcome to members. Mary Baker Eddy, the discoverer and founder of Christian Science, established this goal when she founded her church. (Mrs. Eddy also founded this newspaper, and the church acts as its publisher.)
