New appointments announced by BOD
Walter D. Jones (retired), Margaret Rodgers, Nate Talbot, Trinka and Tom Black
Dear Member of The Mother Church ,
As you know, last week there was a change in the Christian Science Board of Directors. Walter D. Jones, CSB, resigned after serving faithfully for 11½ years, and Michael Pabst, CSB, was elected to fill that position.
Over the past four years, Walter also served on the Board of Trustees of The Christian Science Publishing Society. The Church Manual specifies that the remaining Trustees fill the vacancy, and that step has been taken. We are delighted to share the good news that Michael Pabst will serve on the Board of Trustees, as well as the Christian Science Board of Directors.
Don Adams, CS, of Houston , Texas , has also served as a Trustee. Don has given tirelessly to this important work for the past five and a half years, and recently submitted his resignation in order to devote himself more fully to his healing practice. “It’s been a joy, and so rewarding, to be part of the amazing amount of progress the Publishing Society has made in the past five and half years,” Don said.
Judy Wolff, CSB, Chair of the Board of Trustees, commented, “Don was a major catalyst in the transformation and bold strategy for The Christian Science Monitor, as well as the renewed focus on the Bible Lesson, the launch of my Bible Lesson, and the overhaul of the operational infrastructure of the Society. All the periodicals Mary Baker Eddy founded are near and dear to Don’s heart, and we deeply appreciate his energetic contributions.”
We send our deepest thanks to our good friend and colleague, Don. And of course, we can never thank Walter enough for all he gave serving as both Trustee and Director.
We have one more reason for gratitude today. Scott Preller, CSB, of Andover , Massachusetts , has agreed to serve as the newest trustee. Many in the Field know Scott through his service as a Christian Science chaplain, his articles in periodicals, and his most recent work on the Christian Science Board of Lectureship. Scott brings years of healing experience to his new position, as well as humility, earnestness, and depth of spirit.
Michael and Scott are eager to join the Publishing Society during this transformative period in the world of publishing, and we know that the team at the Publishing Society is eager to welcome them.
With much appreciation for each member’s vital role in the ongoing healing ministry that’s so central to the mission of this Church.
