Annual Meeting 2017

The Christian Science Board of Directors

Dear Church family,

It’s time to be thinking ahead to this year’s Annual Meeting, and we can’t help being inspired by the prospect. We have felt a strong spiritual impetus from each of the recent Annual Meetings. Your wholehearted participation and support have contributed greatly to moving our Church forward with renewed spirit. The outcome has been new steps that are now visibly strengthening our Cause.

As you recall, some recent themes have been “A spiritual foundation of Christ-healing,” and then, “ ‘A spiritual foundation of Christ-healing’—continuing to build.” Last year we looked squarely at our Church’s mission of “healing and saving the world” (Mary Baker Eddy, Church Manual, p. 19). And this year we’ll be thinking together about that which enables all of us to act in response to the unique call to this greatest of all causes. Our theme is “Let us feel the divine energy of Spirit, bringing us into newness of life.”
