Martyrs

Honor your saints, who live in the light-stream flowing through colored glass. Those, of your kind, who gave themselves in sacrifice. It is their due to grace the legend and the calendar. But do not forget the wild-eyed ones pouring their dumb prayer through the wire of laboratory cages; the white bears covered in oil, the nameless and helpless who suffer and die to answer a question for Science.

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.
