Roles

When I was young, I did not know the roles I learned and thought my own need never have been played at all. I did not know that there were tribes like the Zulus who assured their daughters: you are unique and beautiful so each walked tall; each was spared From ever sitting in the cinders, diminshed by a sister's grace or shadowed by her radiant face. I tell myself, go back, go back and face the same old vista, track yet play a new role in a way I never dreamed that I might play: bold, brave, unshakably aware, invincible, bright, light as air and like none other anywhere.

Why is Christian Science in our name?

Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that.

The Church publishes the Monitor because it sees good journalism as vital to progress in the world. Since 1908, we’ve aimed “to injure no man, but to bless all mankind,” as our founder, Mary Baker Eddy, put it.

Here, you’ll find award-winning journalism not driven by commercial influences – a news organization that takes seriously its mission to uplift the world by seeking solutions and finding reasons for credible hope.
