What only at its source may be refound

Trust, when it goes cannot be glued together again like a dropped vase. It is a flower that came to pass all summer-dewed by its own sweet laws. It is a bird that flew to nest on a green bough of its own choice. O no one can summon once it is gone the silenced note or the vanished rose! Roots hold.m But roots always have known an antique right ungiven to bloom. Song holds.m But song in a wounded throat may for its mend seek deeper groves. And what goes on unseen, untold -- havened by shadow steeped in hush -- Alone will again that flower disclose or again, as a bird call out.

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.
