ALBANY SCIENCE OF MIND CENTER

Our beginnings …

Beginning in 1922 with the publication of “The Science of Mind,” the writings of Ernest Holmes has provided the initial scholarly context for the teachings commonly known as Science of Mind. 

Subsequent New Thought teachers have added to the body of spiritual literature which nowadays represents the teachings promoted by the Albany Science of Mind Center. 

The Albany Science of Mind Center has its roots in the early work of Leo and Betty Stockman who served as the inspirational leaders first introducing the Science of Mind teachings to the Capital Region in New York. In 1969, Leo V. Stockman was ordained as a minister Pastor and a Charter was granted to the “Albany Society of Religious Science.” This same year, the “Church of Religious Science” was incorporated, and its first ministerial licensure was granted to Rev. Leo V. Stockman. 

Throughout the subsequent years, Science of Mind and New Thought teachings have gained growing interest and increased study. Our Center represents a continuation of this tradition. 

Today, our Center is led by its current President, Rev. Richard R. Zayas.

Our guiding precept is: 

"Change Your Thinking & Change Your Life."
