Article XXVII--PUPILS
Authorized to Teach. SECTION 1. After a student's pupil has been duly
authorized to be a teacher of Christian Science, or has been under
the personal instruction of Mrs. Eddy, he is no longer under the
jurisdiction of his former teacher.
Without Teachers. SECTION 2. Those beloved brethren whose teacher has
left them, can elect an experienced Christian Scientist, who is not
in charge of an association of students and who is ready for this
high calling, to conduct the meetings of their association.
Basis for Teaching. SECTION 3. The teachers of the Normal class shall
teach from the chapter Recapitulation in SCIENCE AND HEALTH WITH KEY
TO THE SCRIPTURES, and from the Christian Science Platform, beginning
on page 330 of the revised editions since 1902, and they shall teach
nothing contrary thereto. The teachers of the Primary class shall
instruct their pupils from the said chapter on "Recapitulation" only.
Church Membership. SECTION 4. Neither the Pastor Emeritus nor a
member of this Church shall teach Roman Catholics Christian Science,
except it be with the written consent of the authority of their
Church. Choice of patients is left to the wisdom of the practitioner,
and Mrs. Eddy is not to be consulted on this subject.
Class Teaching. SECTION 5. Members of The Mother Church who are
authorized by its By-Laws to teach Christian Science, shall not
solicit, or cause or permit others to solicit, pupils for their
classes. No member of this Church shall advise against class
instruction.
Teachers of Christian Science must have the necessary moral and
spiritual qualifications to elucidate the Principle and rule of
Christian Science, through the higher meaning of the Scriptures.
"The less the teacher personally controls other minds, and the more
he trusts them to the divine Truth and Love, the better it will be
for both teacher and student." (Retrospection and Introspection,
page 84.)
