History of
the Course In Miracles Center
In
1985, at the age of 67, Frances Reed started
the Portland ACIM Center. When she came
to the Course in 1983 she knew this was
to be her life work from then on. For many
years she supported the Center from her
small monthly social security check, and
took in manuscript editing projects when
her income wouldn’t cover all the
expenses. There were many occasions when
a timely donation allowed her to make the
insurance payment or pay the postage for
the newsletter, The Bridge, which recently
ended publication after eighteen continuous
years. In 2000 she turned the Center over
to her daughter, Judy Allen. Now, the Center
is operated by an active Board of seven
members who continue its work.
Frances’
only purpose for the Center during the years
that she was director, teacher, bookkeeper,
and counselor, was this: “I am here
only to be truly helpful. I am here to represent
Him Who sent me. I do not have to worry
about what to say or what to do, because
He Who sent me will direct me. I am content
to be wherever He wishes, knowing He goes
there with me. I will be healed as I let
Him teach me to heal.”
Through her many
years of complete dedication to teaching
and living the Course, Frances has created
a “ripple effect” of healing
and love in the world. It is a remarkable
legacy.
