at Alice Tully Hall in the Lincoln Center. Barker also had a weekly program on New York City's metropolitan-area radio station WOR. Some of his students included future Religious Science leaders Stuart Grayson and Louise Hay. Barker was president of the International New Thought Alliance (1943–46) and Religious Science International (1954–57). Dr. Barker was known for one of his books, God is Money, saying "Money is God in action, and it takes money to put God into action." Which was one of his founding tenants and he carried through his life. Retirement and death Upon Dr. Barker's retirement from the ministry in 1979, he was succeeded by Stuart Grayson. Barker took up residence at Rancho Mirage, Calif., where he continued as a writer and guest speaker until his death on January 26, 1988. Memorial services were held for him at the New York and Palm Desert Churches of Religious Science. At the latter church, Robert Bitzer, founder of the Hollywood Church of Religious Science and one of the Religious Science movement's earliest workers and organizers, eulogized Dr. Barker as having done more for Religious Science than anyone since founder Ernest Holmes.
