It doesn't take much to start a new church

I think the biggest problem people who want change are coming up against is speaking rationally to emotional people. They don't have an argument to lean on for keeping things the same, but it won't stop them from clinging to the traditions. Why bother trying to convince them. We should be starting our own churches like they did in Mrs. Eddy's day. All you need to start a church is to be "A member of this Church who obeys its By-Laws and is a loyal exemplary Christian Scientist working in the Field,"  Man 72:4-12  Organizing Churches. SECT. 6. 

 We could all go out today and find 4 members of the Mother Church, 12 other people including 1 practitioner and be branch churches with any kind of service we want. Why are we wasting our time on the old churches. Do we want to have to train people to be loving and non-judgmental? Do we want to have to go to committee every time we want to make minor changes? 

 I come across so many people that say they want change and they mean announcing the name of the solo before it's sung, or getting rid of the usher that stands in front of the church doing nothing. In that sense most people would say they want change, someone probably hates the color of the carpet, or thinks the organ needs to be completely overhauled. This isn't the kind of change that's going to bring one person into a church and keep them there. We must go out today and speak with the 98% of the people who left the church and find out why they left and listen and pray about how to make church relevant to them. 

 I don't want to make people into proper Christian Scientists, I want Christian Science to be perfect for people. And it is, there must be a way to help people see it. I will do whatever I can to make it relevant for them and make a home for them.
