For those New Thought folks out there, Christian Science (the New Thought movement grounded in prayer-healing and founded by Mary Baker Eddy) has just named a new president. Fujiko Signs, a Japanese-born practitioner, will take the annual position as president.
According to the Religion News Service, Ms. Signs says, "...my passion is to communicate the universality of Christian Science."
Since Signs is a woman from Tokyo, this appointment certainly speaks to the global reach of the Christian Science movement, the oldest of the New Thought churches. I wish Ms. Signs well and hope she shines in her role as president, leader and advocate for the power of prayer and of the mind to influence our experiences for the better.
The RNS has the whole story.
I'm a progressive Christian minister offering commentary on interfaith, spiritual, theological and socio-cultural issues. I bring a practical, positive, progressive, and pluralistic Christian perspective raising awareness of and promoting God's Spirit of love, equality, and justice. I'm striving to cultivate a Christian faith that embraces plurality, engages the other, and lives in the questions.
