 The Destiny of The Mother Church - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Destiny of The Mother Church (1991, ISBN 087510231X) is the primary and theologically disputed work of Bliss Knapp, the son of Ira O. and Flavia S. Knapp, students of Mary Baker Eddy.
Advised in fall 1991 before the book's publication by a six-page letter from church Archivist Lee Johnson of the book's unusual history, a large number of Christian Science branch churches voted not to carry the book or simply declined to order it, though precise figures are difficult to establish.
The book's publication attracted a fair deal of unwelcome media attention and continued to be held by many members, in spite of the church's defense, to violate Eddy's basic teachings and the Manual of The Mother Church, the church's equivalent of constitutional law.
