2009 Per Capita Tax Message

Each donation to this Church expresses love for divine Science, the Comforter that lights the way to life in Spirit. It's wonderful to see this love as our natural response to divine Love shining on us—a light which might be described as "that influx of divine Science which so illuminated the Pentecostal Day and is now repeating its ancient history" (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p. 43).
