Local Christian Scientists View Live Telecast Section Two The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, January 23, 1985 9 • EDITORS MEET--At a worldwide satellite videoconference videoconference of Christian Scientists, Katherine Fanning, editor of The Christian Science Monitor, and Allison W. Phinney Jr., editor of the monthly Christian Science Journal and other church publications, publications, discuss the meeting's theme, "To live for all mankind." Originating in the denomina tion's historic 19th century Mother Church in Boston, Boston, the meeting drew church members from around the world who viewed the program live. A television monitor to the right picked up a panel discussion of senior Monitor writers gathered at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, England. explained: "This meeting is about lives . . . It's about the Christ speaking to human consciousness through individuals who are living truth. It's about hearts speaking to hearts." He also spoke of the "spiritual urgency ... to address the needs of our fellow man at the deepest possible levels." A panel of reporters from The Christian Science Monitor joined the meeting via satellite from the Old Royal Observatory in Greenwich, England. In keeping with the Monitor's 75 year tradition of in-depth coverage of social, economic, political and cultural affairs, the panel discussed a broad range of pressing challenges -- from the nuclear arms race to what one panel member termed "the saturation point of materialism in some of the western world." The very urgency of today's problems, said veteran European reporter Elizabeth Pond, "reminds us that our personal lives aren't here somewhere and world problems out there somewhere else." In Boston, the panel was joined by Monitor editor' Katherine W. Fanning and Allison W. Phinney, Jr., editor of the monthly Christian Science Journal and other church publications. Mh Phinney addressed the question of the Christian's relation to the world and responsibility toward solutions to contemporary challenges. He noted Christ Jesus' prayer at one point when, as Phinney put it, Jesus was "talking with God and thinking ahead beyond the crucifixion and resurrection, thinking about the future of his disciples." Jesus' prayer -- "I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil" -- indicates his conviction that a "spiritual perspective" makes a "tremendous practical difference in our own lives ... and in human consciousness as a whole," Phinney states. At the close of the meeting, board member Michael B. Thorneloe, formerly of Sheffield, England, reiterated the call "to live for all mankind." This "imperative call," he said, requires "active witness, if the world is to realize world peace as an attainable reality." He added, "Christmas is a perpetual reminder of peace. In a very real sense our Master, Christ Jesus, was the 'Prince of Peace.'" Christian Scientists in Australia and New Zealand heard the program the following day. And Asian church members were sent videotapes at the close of the meeting. Simultaneous translation of the videoconference was handled by church and United Nations translators in Spanish, German, Danish, French, Swedish, Italian and Portuguese. anb listant $ast CHURCH MEETING: OLD AND NEW-With the 19th century Mother Church bell tower rising to the left and a satellite receiver in the foreground, the Boston-based Christian Science Church pro- the world.
