The City

The city is a very interesting place to be. You hear cars roaring, people chatting, radios playing, and dogs barking. You turn to Speak with a friend. Some joggers hurry past. You notice their bright red, blue, and green outfits. A group of pigeons mill around in the park. You may toss a few crumbs yourself. The smell of fresh cake reaches your nose. You go into a bakery and take a sample. It tastes sweet and cheesy. You buy a small doughnut and leave. Entering the park you lie down under a shady tree. The shade is cool and refreshing. The grass under you tickets your skin. You look up to watch children playing in the street and de cide the city is a very enjoyable place to live.

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.
