Putting in another Christian Science ask: what kind of position does Mary Baker Eddy have? As in, are you required to accept all of her pronouncements, and if not, what's the criteria for what isn't and is accepted? Is she a prophet, or just the person who figured out Christian Science?

This is one of the things that people wonder most about Christian Science, and which also invites comparison to Scientology, which during its founder's lifetime was constructed around his personality. First off, no one ever prays to her. She is not an intercessory figure. We are not required to have all the opinions Mrs. Eddy had as a person, but we do follow all her writings. The only writings of hers we do not follow are her older drafts of Science and Health. While they are historically and theologically notable, Christian Scientists only follow the final, authorized 1910 edition of the book, in accordance with her wishes. She also wrote a lot of poems. 7 of them are the lyrics of some of our most beloved hymns. But we do not go to her poetry for theological instruction.

Mrs. Eddy held a few titles in her lifetime, notably Discoverer and Founder, but the ones that have officially endured past her death are Leader and Pastor Emeritus. I think the term prophet would be appropriate too; I certainly consider her such. But most CS people would stick only to the titles she allowed in her lifetime. They do this out of respect for her heightened spiritual understanding.

For those unaware, a brief explanation. [Well as brief as I, the perpetually long-winded person, can be.] Mary Baker Glover Eddy (1821-1910) was an American woman who had poor health and bad luck in marriage for the first half of her life. After a bad fall on ice in 1866, attending doctors told her that death was imminent and they could do no more for her. She asked to be given her Bible to read, and turned to the gospels. Reading a story of one of Christ Jesus' healings (which one has been long forgotten, even by Mary herself), she soon rose from the bed, and, after a short relapse later that day which she treated through the same method, she was fully healed of the injury. She spent the next three years completely focused on reading Scripture and praying to try and figure out how the healing had occurred.

The rest of her life was devoted to writing Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, a text Christian Scientists hold with the Bible as central to our faith and practice. Though first published in 1875, Mrs. Eddy continually revised and worked on this book for the rest of her life, with the final edition coming out the year she died. She always described this as being " a scribe under orders." She hoped that all Christian churches would read and accept the ideas in her book and that it would leaven the whole of Christianity and elevate worldwide Christian practice. This did not happen, and while some considered her ideas helpful to their understanding, many more clergy and Christians were openly hostile or declared it unchristian.

So eventually Mrs. Eddy founded her own church, now known as the Church of Christ, Scientist. In her lifetime, the Mother Church in Boston was built and then extended to fit the rapidly growing congregation. There was a room built in the original edifice called the Mother's Room, specifically for her to use and take rest in before or after giving a sermon. Many Christian Scientists called Mrs. Eddy "Mother" during her lifetime. She wrote against this several times, but among the people who worked in her household, she was less strict about this affectionate title. No one uses it today, and it would be weird and frowned upon if they did.

After her three years of study, Mrs. Eddy increasingly became famous as a healer. People would be healed passing her on the street, having only made eye contact with her, or while attending her lectures and sermons. But most healing accounts were the result of direct conversation with her or the patient requesting her to come. There are hundreds if not a thousand or more accounts of her healing works, and the Mother Church (the central governing body of CS) works hard to preserve, retrieve, and triple-check the authenticity of all such accounts.

Mrs. Eddy is deeply revered by Christian Scientists today as in her lifetime. I would never deny that there were personality-cult elements in the first generation of CS believers. It was easy, due to personal love for her and to her many healing works, for early students to make the mistake of focusing on her personality and imagine her as more than she said she was. Some students would lavish her with praise that made her uncomfortable and was theologically inappropriate, such as calling her Christ come again or claiming (as Bliss Knapp famously did in his 1946 book) that she was the woman crowned with stars from Revelation.

The Bliss Knapp book, The Destiny of the Mother Church, was controversially printed and briefly distributed by the Mother Church in 1990, which caused a minor schism within CS. The Church Manual has a section about Incorrect Literature, which this book clearly violated:

No Incorrect Literature. Sect. 11. A member of this Church shall neither buy, sell, nor circulate Christian Science literature which is not correct in its statement of the divine Principle and rules and the demonstration of Christian Science. Also the spirit in which the writer has written his literature shall be definitely considered. His writings must show strict adherence to the Golden Rule, or his literature shall not be adjudged Christian Science. A departure from the spirit or letter of this By-Law involves schisms in our Church and the possible loss, for a time, of Christian Science. (Manual of The Mother Church, Mary Baker Eddy, p. 43:21)

It was done for monetary reasons, which the Directors admitted, and has only recently been removed from publication. Bliss Knapp is one of the few students who both knew Mrs. Eddy personally and who proclaimed such heretical statements about her without being rebuked by her (as she was already dead) or being excommunicated. But this is purely due to how he set up his will and this book in trust, leading to the complicated monetary/theological situation in the 1990s. Had she read the book, Mrs. Eddy would have never allowed it to be published.

There are a lot of directions this could go, but I think the best way to explain Mrs. Eddy's ongoing role in the church is to tell you about Augusta Stetson. Augusta was an immensely popular preacher of Christian Science. Trained as a professional elocutionist, she converted to CS after hearing Mrs. Eddy speak in 1884. Although Mrs. Eddy disliked Stetson's style of preaching, she still sent her in 1886 to help found a church in New York City. Stetson's personal magnetism led her to develop her own cult of personality and enormous influence within this branch church. It became the largest and richest of all the branch churches.

Even when preaching was replaced with reading the weekly Bible Lesson [explained in a later paragraph], Stetson would not stop preaching until Mrs. Eddy personally told her to, and this change did not lessen her absolute control over that church congregation. Stetson held the First Reader position for so many years that as a direct result, the Church Manual specifically includes a term of three years for readership. Mrs. Eddy cared for Stetson personally, and for twenty years she tried to alternately praise and rebuke her into correct behavior, but she was not stern enough to cause Stetson to truly repent. Stetson saw herself, and soon styled herself to others, as Mrs. Eddy's successor. Mrs. Eddy and Stetson had their final conversation in 1908. Stetson appeared repentant, but the next year, she wrote a letter to Mrs. Eddy speaking of her in deifying, heretical terms, at which point Mrs. Eddy sharply rebuked her and asked for the Board of Directors of the Mother Church to investigate her. When Stetson heard of Mrs. Eddy's death, she declared that Mrs. Eddy would rise from the grave, appear to her personally first, and then appear to the rest of the world. She repeated this claim the rest of her own life, while running an offshoot of CS centered around her 'Church Triumphant,' noted as being anti-CS, anti-Catholic, anti-Semitic, and promoting protofascist ideas and Nordic supremacy at various points in the 1920s. [None of these elements were ever present in CS theology or literature, naturally.]

I think that many people unfamiliar with Mrs. Eddy would assume that she was a person like Stetson. Mrs. Eddy never claimed to be a second Christ, the woman in Revelation prophecy, a reincarnation of any Biblical figure, or any part of the Godhead. Students who claimed this were rebuked universally. We refer to Mrs. Eddy as the Discoverer, Founder, and Leader of Christian Science. The discovery and founding are complete. They are not perpetual, as Christian Science recognizes no successor to Mrs. Eddy's work or position. She retains the titles of Leader and Pastor Emeritus.

Partly due to students like Stetson, who both wanted her position for themselves and attempted to flatter or deify her inappropriately, and partly because of the many offshoot spiritual movements that tried to appropriate her ideas without giving her credit for introducing them and tried to remove the Christian theology that gave those ideas backing, Mrs. Eddy was very firm on remaining Pastor Emeritus after her death. She often said that those who sought her [as a person] would find her in her writings. She also spoke out emphatically against Spiritualism in her writings and speeches. Our theology holds that there are no ghosts, nor can there be any communication between the dead and the living. Any Christian Scientist who claimed or claims to be in communication with Mrs. Eddy personally after her death is rebuked or excommunicated, depending on the extent of the claim made. Her leadership of the church is purely in her writings, in the ideas she gave us "as a scribe under orders."

But, to be fair, there is a lot of respect and interest in Mrs. Eddy's personality anyway. She was a warm, loving person. She was very strict about cleanliness. She loved ice cream. There are a multitude of church-sanctioned biographies about her, most of which I've read, some of which were even part of my homework for Christian Science Nursing training. Growing up, I had a children's book about her life.

Many CS churches also have one or more portraits of her, usually as an older woman with a serene expression. And because more CS churches have portraits of her than of Christ Jesus, I have been asked more than once if this means that we see her as a replacement for Jesus. To this I would say that Christ Jesus lived long enough ago that CS people are uncomfortable choosing a portrait of him, whereas Mrs. Eddy lived recently enough that we know for sure what she looked like. But I admit that it does invite suspicions of a cult of personality more than anything else.

In turning her church away from personal preaching by establishing the system of Bible Lessons and readership, Mrs. Eddy denied power to those who would seek, like Stetson, to take the theological rudder of the church away from her writings. Bible Lessons are compiled by a committee within the Mother Church three years in advance. There is one every week of the year, in a rotating system of subjects set out by Mrs. Eddy, so that we have each subject twice a year. The Sunday sermon is always a reading of this weekly Bible Lesson, with the First Reader reading the Bible citations and the Second Reader reading those from Science and Health. The books are meant to be read together, but the Bible always comes first. Wednesday sermons are compiled by the First Reader, but they must purely consist of quotations from these two books, which we collectively consider our Pastor.

Mrs. Eddy as Pastor Emeritus is similarly in a position in our church from which she cannot be removed. To pretend that CS owes her nothing would be wrong, and would inevitably lead us theologically astray. Every splinter group off of CS makes this mistake, and all of them lack the power to heal that CS demonstrates. Mrs. Eddy learned very early that the only way to heal was to understand that it was not a personal power. Only by knowing God as the only power and healer could she see others be healed while praying for them.

Sometime in the 1870s, she did take personal pride in having healed a little girl. When she reached home, a message had come saying the child had relapsed. In grief and repentance, she fell to her knees and spent the next several minutes repenting of this self-centered pride and giving the glory back to God. Soon, another message came from the family saying that the girl was perfectly well.

It was a lesson swiftly and absolutely learned, and it shows how Mrs. Eddy saw herself. She was the scribe under orders, no more and no less. To finish up, here's what she said in her Message to the Mother Church for 1901:

Finally, brethren, wait patiently on God; return blessing for cursing; be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good; be steadfast, abide and abound in faith, understanding, and good works; study the Bible and the textbook of our denomination; obey strictly the laws that be, and follow your Leader only so far as she follows Christ. Godliness or Christianity is a human necessity: man cannot live without it; he has no intelligence, health, hope, nor happiness without godliness. (Message to The Mother Church for 1901, Mary Baker Eddy, p. 34:20–28) (emphasis added)

Women’s History: Augusta Stetson and the Church at 96th Street and Central Park West March 3, 2023 HISTORY

By Pam Tice

In this month of promoting women’s history, it’s a good time to remember an Upper West Side woman who entered the public sphere in New York City more than 100 years ago. Working for the Boston founder of Christian Science, Augusta Emma Simmons Stetson came to New York City and built the First Church of Christ, Scientist at Central Park West and 96th Street. Soon it will become the Children’s Museum of Manhattan, plans you can view here.

Augusta Simmons was born into a modest family in Maine in 1842. She married Captain Frederick J. Stetson, a shipbuilder associated with a company in London. For a number of years, the couple lived overseas in London, Bombay and Burma. Captain Frederick’s ill health brought them back to Boston where Mrs. Stetson enrolled in a school of oratory, hoping to become an elocutionist at a time when the public lecture circuit was popular. She is described in many biographies as tall, elegant in appearance, with a charismatic personality and a resonant voice. At a time when women were not afforded an opportunity to be in the public sector, she appeared to be breaking barriers.

In 1884, she met and was then recruited by Mary Baker Eddy to be trained at the three-week Massachusetts Metaphysical College, founded by Mrs. Eddy to teach the metaphysical healing she called Christian Science. At a time when the medical profession did not have a solution to many health problems, this method of healing appealed to many people who were suffering.

In 1886, Mrs. Stetson was dispatched to New York City to establish the new religion here. Others were organizing here too, especially Laura Lathrop who became Stetson’s rival. But Augusta Stetson (named “Fighting Gus” by some) was successful, developing a devoted following, and organized the First Church of Christ, Scientist, in 1887. Lathrop would organize the Second Church, building her church further south on Central Park West at 68th Street.

Stetson became controversial as her power grew, challenging Mrs. Eddy’s leadership, and declaring her church to be the only one in New York City. She developed a domineering attitude and called people names who disagreed with her. Her personality and many of her actions make it hard to celebrate her, but we do recognize her accomplishment of building one of our finest landmarked churches.

Scholars label Mrs. Eddy an ambivalent feminist, founding a radical church but placing its management in the hands of an all-male Board. As more complaints about a despotic Mrs. Stetson grew, Mrs. Eddy used her Board to try to deal with her — changing the rules to control her, eventually publicly reprimanding her, and finally excommunicating her.

Augusta Stetson began to raise money for her church building, laying its cornerstone in 1899. Initially, the church was to cost $500,000, but soon grew to over a million dollars, as expensive design choices were made, including the use of Concord granite and the installation of two elevators. In 1903, when the church was dedicated, Stetson flaunted her accomplishment of raising such a hefty sum, unlike her rival Lothrop who had a mortgage on her church.

The First Church’s wealthy congregation sought a building that would signify respectability, choosing the prestigious architects Carrere & Hastings, and using the finest materials throughout the internal structure. Famed artist John LaFarge made the stained-glass window over the main entrance. The Bloomingdale Neighborhood History Group has uploaded a copy of a real estate brochure with photographs of the Beaux Arts interior of this beautiful building before it was gutted.

The year after the Church was dedicated, Stetson’s devoted congregation built her a mansion just behind the church on West 96th Street. Designed by Hunt & Hunt, the architectural firm of Richard Morris Hunt’s sons, the mansion had a one-story portico with marble columns at its side entrance.

In 1909, with the First Church welcoming overflowing crowds, Mrs. Stetson began making plans to develop a second church building at Riverside Drive at 86th Street. However, this violated guidelines set by the Board of the Church in Boston, and the plan was dropped. An investigation of Mrs. Stetson also began that year, looking at her unorthodox views of Church teachings, her practices, and the fact that she gave false testimony in a court case. The Boston Board revoked her license as a Christian Science teacher and practitioner, excommunicating her from the Church. When Mrs. Eddy died in 1910, many expected Stetson to return to head the church, but she did not. She kept her mansion, and kept her title as principal of the New York City Christian Science Institute.

Stetson continued to publish pamphlets on her views of Christian Science, often attacking the “Mother Church” as “exhibiting spiritual decline.” Many New Yorkers continued to follow her, with as many as 800 attending her lectures. In 1918, she formed a Choral Society as part of the Institute, and took on a cause: changing the third stanza of the Star-Spangled Banner because it was too militaristic.

In 1921, Mrs. Stetson was in the news again regarding a suit against the First Church to stop them from erecting a brick wall at the rear of the church that would cut off her light and air.

Stetson purchased a radio station in 1925, broadcasting five times a week. She promoted ugly propaganda that was anti-Catholic and antisemitic, advocating white supremacy and traditional American virtues.

Although she had once claimed immortality, Augusta Stetson died in 1928. Her residence was demolished soon after, and an apartment building replaced it in 1930.

As for the First Church, its congregation shrank over time, not unlike many other neighborhood churches. The building was declared a New York City landmark in 1974. In 2005, the First and Second Churches finally combined. The Crenshaw Center East, a nondenominational church from Los Angeles, purchased the First Church building in 2004 and held services there for a decade. In 2014, a developer purchased it with the intention of converting it into condominiums, but the project failed to get approval. Now the Children’s Museum of Manhattan will convert it and join the neighborhood’s other important institutions.

Heading into the Home Stretch!(No Foul)

DELAND, Fla. ---- So Mother Nature decided to take a trip to Florida, last weekend and she made things tough for Stetson University and for Florida Gulf Coast University.

There was supposed to be a three-game weekend series being played in the spacious home of the Hatters-Melching Stadium at Conrad park that is located in downtown.

Changes in the weather in central Florida is like the Atlantic Sun Conference Baseball Standing-just wait a second because there is going to be a change.

With threating weather surrounding the stadium, Friday evening the game between the Hatters and the Eagles was suspended at the sixth inning due to lighting that just did not want to go away.

Game officials, team officials agreed to pick up the game from the sixth inning, Saturday.

A treat for the fans, a double hitter!

Stetson University swept away Florida Gulf Coast University, 2-1 and 5-3 creating a mess at the top of the standings.

The race toward the finish line in the league is heading around the home turn, with Florida Gulf Coast University holding a slight 1/2 game lead over Liberty University.

Hoping for a victory on Sunday, to salvage the series against the Hatters, Florida Gulf Coast University was hoping that the stormy sky had moved on but Mother Nature had to make her point and she stuck around and Sunday’s game was cancelled.

This weekend the Eagles will pack a few things in a suitcase, board the plane for the New Jersey shoreline and will look for fairer weather as they take care of business against the New Jersey Institute of Technology.

The three-game series begins Friday May 10 at 3 p.m. in Augusta, N.J. at Sky Land Stadium.

Fans of Florida Gulf Coast University will keeping an eye on the action on the diamond and the action around the Atlantic Sun Conference especially just a little south in the Commonwealth of Virginia.

There will be a slight interest in the results from Lynchburg and Liberty University as the Flames welcome Lipscomb University to Liberty University baseball Stadium.

So as the teams head for the wire and coming down the home stretch, Eagle fans are hoping for a clear winner and not a photo finish.

Georgia Soul, Crosstown Win Women’s, Men’s Elite Brackets At Inaugural 360 Hoops Invitational

Alexis Prince, Khadijiah Cave, Martell Buie and Demario Fountain were among the standouts as Georgia Soul (women’s) and Crosstown (men’s) claimed the Elite Bracket championships at the inaugural 360 Hoops Invitational this past week at DME Sports Academy. Competitors from across all age groups from elementary school up to top collegiate and professional standouts vied for the titles in various brackets in the unique 360 Hoops format, three-on-three play on a three-basket, three-team circular court.

In the women’s final, Prince scored a game-high 19 points, grabbed five rebounds and handed out six assists, and Cave pitched in 16 points and a game-best 10 boards as Georgia Soul defeated DMT, 54-25. The men’s final featured a strong comeback by Crosstown, which topped Top Shottas, 15-12, behind five points (one point per basket) from Blue and Fountain. Liam Davis had 10 of the squad’s 12 points and a game-high four rebounds in a losing effort for Top Shottas.

The fast-paced format meant non-stop action: the women’s contest saw 51 possessions in two 10-minute halves, and the men’s had 58 trips in 10:00.

The Women’s and Men’s Elite Bracket title games will be featured on a tape-delayed national TV broadcast with Emmy-Award winning producer Harry Cicma. Innovative camera angles and technology, including 360 VR, will be incorporated. Fans can view replays of games from the lower brackets at the 360 Hoops YouTube channel.

The format, in which three teams compete at a time on the 30-foot diameter circular court, featuring a single stanchion with three regulation baskets facing away in each direction and where players can score for their teams in any of the three baskets, produced some highlights not possible in standard basketball. Athleticism, moving without the ball and team play are paramount, readily apparent in this showcase for the nascent sport.

“We weren’t sure what to expect in our first tournament, but it exceeded everything we could have hoped for,” said Shane Brey, Co-Founder, 360 Hoops. “All of the elements of the game were on display, and we will look back at the tapes, learn which things worked well and which we can tweak to be even better.

“We are thankful to these tremendous athletes, from the youngest kids right up to the Elite men and women for their efforts all week,” he added. “Georgia Soul and Crosstown will forever be the FIRST 360 Hoops champions, and we can’t be prouder to award them the titles, along with the other bracket winners.”

Winners of the inaugural 360 Hoops Invitational in each bracket include:

Elite Women’s - Georgia Soul (Alexis Prince, Aliyah Collier, Dominique Wilson, Khadijiah Cave) d. DMT (Destiny Campbell, Micah Garvin, Tiffany Hodge, Ionna McKenzie), 54-25. Third place: TC Hoopers (Brandy Montgomery, Dyane Pierre, Nene Johnson, Stephanie Ball)

Elite Men’s - Crosstown (Jon Thompson, Martell Buie, Demario Fountain, Eric Macintosh) d. Top Shottas (Romelo Bates, Dimitri Thompson, Liam Davis, Wilfredo Rodriguez), 15-12. Third place: Dunk Session (Raheem Watts, Dangelo Lee, Chris Watson)

High School Girls - National Basketball Academy/DME (Coach Jack Lutzeier, players Mariela Hooper, Isys Grady, Jhaid Westbrook) d. TNBA

High School Boys - Orlando Mets (Coach Edgar Santana, players Cris Santiago, Malik Moye, Dayron Horn, Waiter Ross) d. Go Riot

The event was followed by a lively and informative roundtable discussion with high-level basketball minds including Division I coaches, highlights of which will also air during the television broadcast. Featured panelists included Howard head coach Kenny Blakeney; Notre Dame head coach Mike Brey; Stetson assistant Brendan Ahearn Suhr; DME Sports Academy co-founder and owner Dan Panaggio; U.S. Army captain and former Augusta State Univ. star Ernesia Wright; Orlando Boom director of player development Mercedes Sirmons; and former Daytona State College and University of Central Florida standout Andrea Ayala.

360 Hoops Invitational event partners include Dynasty Hoops, DME Sports Academy, Orlando Boom, and Ace League.

When is spring break? Dates, destinations and details to help plan your trip

For many students, spring break, that American college tradition and much anticipated vacation, is the first opportunity in the year to plan a memorable getaway.

Checking your spring break dates is the important first step in planning your own special trip, and we’ve included an extensive list of dates for universities and colleges across the United States at the end of this article. Scroll through to find your school, and start thinking about destinations.

Spring break month

In general, spring break month is February, March or April, depending on where you are in the country, and the specific name your institution gives it may also vary. Most institutions, like the University of Texas and California State University, opt for a spring break during March. Smaller numbers, including the likes of Augusta State University, Georgia, hold their spring recess in April, while for others, such as Loyola University Chicago, it’s February.

How long does spring break last?

If you’re wondering how long college spring break is, it’s generally one week, though some schools may schedule a two-week vacation.

College spring break destinations

The best spring break getaway depends on what you’re looking for and what your budget is, so we’ve put together a range of spring break ideas to provide some inspiration. They include some of the most popular destinations, spring break road trips, unique locations and cheap ideas. See what appeals to you.

Top road trip destinations

South Padre Island, Texas

With long-lasting appeal, this is one of the most popular locations for spring break in the U.S., and easily accessible for southern colleges.

Panama City, Florida

A white-sand destination that’s a big hit with students looking to bask in Florida sunshine.

Daytona Beach, Florida

Perhaps the original beach party destination, it’s easy to get to from the East Coast and Midwest.

Las Vegas, Nevada

Besides Vegas’ famous appeal for partying, there are actually great things to do in the surrounding area, too.

Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

With miles of golden East Coast sand, Myrtle Beach is also an affordable option.

New Orleans, Louisiana

The Big Easy offers Bourbon Street and Uptown for nights out, plenty of shrimp gumbo and comfortable 70-degree springtime temperatures.

Manhattan Beach, California

A beautiful Southern California beach town with surfing, shopping, restaurants and nightlife.

For more information about these and other road trip destination ideas, check out our spring break cities and destinations articles, and the road trip planner.

What to pack: Don’t forget the essentials

It’s easy to forget the little things that make for a smooth trip – read “Packing the essentials for your road trip” for items to take for the journey. Not least of these is food: have a look at “Road trip: Food for thought when you’re traveling” if you like to snack.

5 popular international destinations

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico This city is firmly on the spring break map thanks to its beaches, all-inclusive hotels, private villas and entertainment.

Punta Cana, Dominican Republic The Dominican Republic is now a top destination for spring-breakers. Punta Cana offers a typically tropical setting with good value.

Montego Bay, Jamaica Mo-Bay, as it’s known to the locals, may not be quite as laid back as normal when spring break arrives. Besides the nightlife, there are great watersport opportunities.

Lettie Pate Whitehead Scholarship Program

vimeo

The Foundation’s scholarship program awards annual grants for the education of deserving female students with financial need at more than 200 accredited educational institutions in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia.

Most of the scholarship grants support undergraduate higher education, though the Foundation maintains a special interest in health education. A significant number of our grants target education in the medical, nursing and allied health fields. In accordance with the will that established the Foundation, grantee institutions use Lettie Pate Whitehead Foundation grants to award need-based scholarships to Christian women who live in one of the specified states. More than 10,000 students receive scholarships each year in individual amounts determined by their respective institutions.

Scholarship applicants should contact their institution for information on how to apply. The Foundation does not award scholarships directly to individuals. Please see below for a list of institutions that participate in our scholarship program. Note the Foundation rarely adds new institutions to this program.

Former First Church of Christ, Scientist

Now home to the East Coast branch of Crenshaw Christian Center, the L.A. megachurch known for its massive FaithDome, this imposing 2,200-seat edifice (interior photo) was completed in 1903 for the First Church of Christ, Scientist, which occupied the place for the next 100 years. Augusta Stetson, one of the women who brought Christian Science to New York, was the head of the church at the time of construction, having previously driven off a fellow church pioneer who then went on to found a rival congregation. "Endowed with boundless energy and executive capacity, audacious, abrasive, unbending and ruthless, yet adored by hundreds of students and church members", Ms. Stetson was a strong and forceful leader whose personal ambition strained relations with the Mother Church in Boston and eventually got her excommunicated in 1909. (Note the adjacent story in the newspaper I just linked to: "TARANTULA IN MAIL. Throws Dead Letter Office Clerks Into Frenzy.")

Promoting herself as the true spiritual heir of Mary Baker Eddy, the founder of Christian Science, Ms. Stetson maintained a considerable following after her excommunication and even began taking out full-page (and sometimes multiple-page) ads in prominent newspapers to feud with the church establishment and present her teachings directly to the masses (as well as to publicly wage a successful battle against the "spite wall" that the church wanted to erect between its own building and the mansion she lived in next door). She proclaimed that Ms. Eddy would be returning from the dead shortly, and also "announced, with all solemnity and seriousness, that she [herself] would never die. She made it clear she meant this in no metaphorical sense and that she did not have reference to the immortality of the soul. She simply would not die."

(She did though.)

Women’s 360 Hoops Invitational Elite Bracket Filled With Top Pro, Collegiate Players In Daytona Beach, Fla. Saturday

It will be showcase of not just a new sport but elite women’s basketball talent on Saturday when a top field of 32 international professionals and collegiate players compete in the Elite Ladies Hoops bracket of the inaugural 360 Hoops Invitational (dmesportsacademy.com/360hoopsinvitational/) at DME Sports Academy (2441 Bellevue Ave., Daytona Beach) from 6-9 p.m. 360 Hoops partner Orlando Boom (www.theorlandoboom.com), the region’s premier women’s professional basketball organization and 2019 WBDA National Champions, will stock much of the talent, led by Antoinette Bannister, Aisha Brock, Alexis Prince, Ionna McKenzie and Stephanie Ball.

360 Hoops (www.play360hoops.com) is an exciting, inclusive addition to the shape of the game at all levels, incorporating a three-on-three, three-basket, three-team circular court form of the sport. Three teams compete at a time on the 30-foot diameter circular court, which features a single stanchion with three regulation baskets facing away in each direction. Players can score for their teams in any of the three baskets.

“360 hoops is an innovative way of how we view the game of basketball today,” said Orlando Boom owner/visionary Ontavius McCullough. “360 Sports will bring communities closer together, one neighborhood at at time.”

A sampling of the outstanding talent represented includes:

Georgia Soul: Alexis Prince, WNBA Georgia Soul prospect, Baylor Univ.; Aliyah Collier, Clemson Univ, Uniao Sportiva (Portugal); Dominique Wilson, N.C. State; Khadijiah Cave, Baylor Univ.

DMT: Destiny Campbell, East Carolina Univ.; Micah Harvin, Thomas Univ; Tiffany Hodge, Flagler College; Ionna McKenzie, Australian pro, Texas Tech

Lady Elite Warriors: Vanessa Hardy; Diamond Cooper, Florida Tech; Simiah Blount, Troy Univ.; Taj Kollore, UDC

TC Hoopers: Brandy Montgomery, Auburn, Giannena (Greece) pro; Dyana Pierre, Olimpique Sannois St Gratien (France) pro, Univ. of Southern Illinois; Nene Johnson, Stephanie Ball, USC Aiken

Team Swish: Alexis Guadalupe; Di’Mon Steele, St. Petersburg college; Tifani Kerrison, Lynn Univ.

TBD: Jonae Gonzales, Tianna Ayulo, Johnson & Wales Univ.; Natalia Leaks, Virginia State Univ.

Cha$erz: Antoinette Bannister, East Carolina Univ.; Aisha Brock, St. Francis (Pa.) Univ.; Jaterra Bonds, Univ. of Florida; Zada Williams, Univ. of Florida

“The Elite Ladies bracket will feature an amazing array of talent,” said Shane Brey, Co-Founder, 360 Hoops. “Every division of college basketball as well as several overseas professional leagues are represented, which will result in an exciting style of play and a great showcase for the emerging 360 Hoops format. With this field and the deep men’s elite rosters, the national broadcast will be one fans won’t want to miss.”

Play at the Invitational began Tuesday and continued through the week, with co-ed elementary age, middle school then high school age boys on girls taking the court. Top former collegiate athletes have their own bracket on Saturday at 9 a.m., followed by Elite Men at 1 p.m. and Elite Ladies at 6 p.m. All events are being conducted under strict COVID-19 protocol, including masks, frequent handwashing, facility access limited to athletes and staff only, daily temperature readings, social distancing and other practices.

360 Hoops Invitational games from the lower brackets are available on archive at the 360 Hoops YouTube channel (www.youtube.com/360hoops). The Elite finals will be featured on a tape-delayed national TV broadcast with Emmy-Award winning producer Harry Cicma. Innovative camera angles and technology, including 360 VR, will be incorporated.

The event will be followed by a lively and informative roundtable discussion with high-level basketball minds including Division I coaches which will also be filmed and aired during the television broadcast. Featured panelists scheduled to appear include Howard head coach Kenny Blakeney; Notre Dame head coach Mike Brey; Stetson assistant Brendan Ahearn Suhr; DME Sports Academy co-founder and owner Dan Panaggio; U.S. Army captain and former Augusta State Univ. star Ernesia Wright; Orlando Boom director of player development Mercedes Sirmons; and former Daytona State College and University of Central Florida standout Andrea Ayala.
