Life Loves and Gives
Ernest Holmes

We believe in the eternal Goodness, the eternal Loving-kindness, and the eternal Givingness of Life to all.

The Spirit gives Itself to everyone; the Power of God is delivered to all. “Whosoever will may come.” No matter what the mistakes of our yesterdays may have been, we may transcend both the mistake and its consequence through imbibing the Spirit of Truth, which is the Power of God.

This does not mean that we may continue living in the mistake without suffering from it. We must transcend it. That is, we must transmute hate into love, fear into faith, and a sense of separation into conscious union with good. When we have done this, the entire record of the past is blotted out and we are again free—freed with that freedom which the Almighty has ordained and which man may claim as his own.

This is a statement of the Law of Cause and Effect, which is invariable and immutable, but which is also the plaything both of God and man, for while the Law Itself cannot be broken, any particular sequence of cause and effect in It can be transcended. The same law which brought poverty, sickness, and death, rightly used will bring peace, wholeness, prosperity, and life....Coming daily to the Fountain of Life to be renewed in mind, thought, and spirit, we shall find that we also are renewed in bodily conditions and in physical affairs.

CSL—A New Organization Equipped for Transformational Times

Centers for Spiritual Living held its first convention as an integrated organization February 12 – 17 in New Orleans, Louisiana. After more than fifty years as two organizations, attendees delighted in the opportunity to pray, bond, learn, commune, and celebrate together. The conference theme, “Connecting Spiritual Leaders,” set the tone as outstanding teachers, speakers, and workshops inspired convention participants. Workshops focused on the areas of spiritual growth, center growth and financial well-being, and taking our teaching to the world.

Participants had the honor of electing new leadership to guide the organization as we move forward in the twenty-first century with the intention of taking Science of Mind into the world in a greater way than we have done before. Rev. Dr. John Waterhouse, co-minister of Center for Spiritual Living Asheville, North Carolina, was elected as the first president of the new organization. He expressed his belief that there is no challenge that we cannot meet when we work together.

The new Community Spiritual Leader Rev. Dr. Kenn Gordon, the co-pastor of Center for Spiritual Living in Kelowna, British Columbia, and the former president of International Centers for Spiritual Living, accepted the light of leadership from the beloved Rev. Dr. Kathy Hearn, the former Community Spiritual Leader for United Centers for Spiritual Living. Dr. Gordon called the organization to a time for transformation: “Now is the time to release thoughts of separation that can block us from moving forward. We need a new thought right now. There is a bigger idea than we know, but there is a Power that knows. We need to open to that Power and release anything that keeps us from creating a world that works for everyone.”
