Traces

We have walked so long with love along these places There must be traces Of us forever here, A wisp of ghost sticking to the sands Part of you stands smiling on the jetty A wing of talk and laughter will forever fly Down this beach and hands swing happily On long walks through scrub pine and bayberry And swimming endlessly out into the harbor And not returning But be forever here.

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.
