Convention & Retreat News
By Tammi Tucker, Events Manager
I hope that you were able to attend the 2013 Asilomar Spiritual Living Retreat; it was an amazing, heart-filled event! We had a beautiful Taize service and Insight Speakers who spoke from the heart and filled the attendees with love and laughter. Our Keynote Speaker, Azim Khamis, inspired all of us as he spoke about the murder of his son and how he used the sorrow of the loss as fuel to teach peace, prosperity, and purpose through the practice of forgiveness. I would also like to recognize Rev. Dr. Susan Hulton, who has run our Kosmic Kids program for 20 years. Thank you so much for the work you have done with the youth of our organization. You are a blessing!

Science of Mind Magazine News
By Claudia Abbott, RScP, Editor in Chief
We are delighted to receive positive feedback from the field regarding Science of Mind magazine.
Congregants are sharing with me regularly how much they have appreciated Science of Mind magazine now more than at any other time they have subscribed. The daily guides as well as insightful interviews and articles always offer something for the beginner or the expert of Science of Mind ideas and are inspiring and thought provoking. They want to know when our church will be starting a regular study group on the magazine.
