Summer in a city park

Even time's gifts, the obelisks, Are gentled by the whispering of green Wherein the mystery of summer And the heart's wonder become one. The figures moving on the path Enter a kingdom sheltered from martial hours. The shouts of children on the tilted grass Drift and rise. The white ball tossed Follows a slow path, smoothed and round, Round and smooth, as it voyages Like a dream along the tender atmosphere.

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.
