FROM THE CLERK OF THE MOTHER CHURCH

Nate Talbot

ONCE AGAIN I have the happy privilege of writing you to share news of the most recent admission of new members.

Many of you have let us know how much you love to see the list of countries where the newest members live. Applications were received in English, French, German, Portuguese, and Spanish, and came to us from the following locations: Angola, Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Burundi, Cameroon, Canada, Colombia, Democratic Republic of Congo (Kinshasa), Republic of Congo (Brazzaville), Ecuador, England, France, Germany, Honduras, Kenya, Mexico, Nigeria, Pakistan, Peru, Philippines, Rwanda, South Africa, Switzerland, Uganda, United States of America, Uruguay, Wales, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. We are finding that some of these new members initially found Christian Science on the Internet.

The newest members of our worldwide church family unite with us as members of the Church defined by mary Baker Eddy in the Glossary of Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures: "The Church is that institution, which affords proof of its utility and is found elevating the race, rousing the dormant understanding from material beliefs to the apprehension of spiritual ideas and the demonstration of divine Science, thereby casting out devils, or error, and healing the sick" (p. 583).
