The Divine Science Ministers Association's own biographical page on Rev. Dr. Emmet Fox, one of the denomination's ordained ministers. States that Fox was ordained in Divine Science by Rev. Nona Brooks in 1931 and became minister of New York's First Church of Divine Science, also called the Church of the Healing Christ, succeeding Rev. Dr. W. John Murray, and describes his Depression era congregations of up to 5,500 people at the New York Hippodrome and later Carnegie Hall.
Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier2
Tier two: the professional association of Divine Science's own ordained ministers, a first party institutional record of one of their own, credible for the plain facts of his ordination and pastorate but not independently reviewed scholarship. The page itself carries no publication or last revised date; treated here only for the biographical facts it states, cross checked against Wikipedia's own Emmet Fox article, which agrees on the 1931 ordination and the Hippodrome and Carnegie Hall congregations.
