Resources
Dr. Elma Lumsden founded the Temple of Light in 1981, after being introduced to the Science of Mind through the mentorship of Dr. Raymond Charles Barker while working as a nurse in the United States. Upon returning to Jamaica, she began sharing this teaching with others, first by hosting regular study group sessions on her home's veranda.
This initial group of Science of Mind students quickly grew, and through their combined efforts, they could secure the funds to purchase the property we now use as our church grounds.
