The fourth installment in the lecture series Arts and Sciences in 19th-Century America: The Cultural and Intellectual World of Mary Baker Eddy was held on Sunday, December 7, at 2:30 p.m. The event was a celebration and discussion of congregational singing in Mary Baker Eddy’s New England, focusing on musical expression in three spiritual traditions, Christian Science, Unitarian and Universalist, and Episcopalian, with ample opportunity for audience participation.
Guest panelists included Dr. Leo Collins, archivist and former musical director of First and Second Church (Unitarian) in Boston; Dr. Linda Clark, director of music at Grace Episcopal Church in Newton, Massachusetts and former director of the Master of Sacred Music degree program at Boston University School of Theology, and Judy Huenneke, Senior Research Archivist at The Mary Baker Eddy Library.
The Arts and Sciences series addresses important intellectual and cultural pursuits in 19th hand early 20th-century America, and shows how Mary Baker Eddy’s work engaged these dynamic movements. This series brings to life a period of vital self-expression and development of new ideas in American culture.
