Letter from the Editor:

I am pleased to report that the former “Monthly Update” from Home Office has received a face-lift. The Monthly Update has been transformed into the new bi-monthly Insider Report.  This easy to read and accessible E-Zine features news and updates that you can use.

Look for The Insider Report every other month. The Insider Report is your official communication from home office.  It is designed with you in mind. And, if we are not featuring topics that are of interest to you, I want to hear from you.  I welcome your input and ideas.

“On the Road Again” with our Spiritual Leader

By Rev. Dr. Kenn Gordon

Here are a few highlights from my past and upcoming road trips on behalf Centers for Spiritual Living.  This summer, I had the privilege to attend the Ministerial Graduation for ministerial students in California.

By Rev. Dr. John B. Waterhouse, President

Change is upon us and as students of the Science of Mind, we all know that change is evidence of the creative nature of life.  So with this in mind, here are some of the changes occurring within our organization. As most of you know, Rev. Gregory Toole has completed his service as Director of Education and Member Support.  We celebrate Rev. Gregory’s accomplishments and know that he will experience great success in all his future endeavors. Our Leadership Council has chosen not to fill this open position, but rather to study the structure of our organization over the next 18 to 24 months.
