Entry No. 31 — the Monterey file — filed under: new-thought

Monterey Center for Spiritual Living

Founded in 1952 by first senior minister Dr. Carleton Whitehead, this Religious Science congregation still opens Sundays with a 10am 'Visioning Circle' before its 10:30am Celebration service, teaching from Ernest Holmes' New Thought Declaration of Principles — universal mind, spiritual healing, personal power — a few blocks from the aquarium tour buses that never stop here.

The move: Sit in on the 10am Visioning Circle together, stay for the 10:30 Celebration, then debate over lunch whether you buy into 'universal mind' and spiritual healing as taught in Holmes' thirteen principles.
