Spring is like saying sprout to a tulip

Or grow to a child Bud to a rose. It is a freshet of thoughts, A wild pink sunrise in the mind Spring mines the gold of forsythia, Does a dance of elves about a mushroom Sends lovers to the moon, Melts the heart of winter snows with a delight of sun Warms the loving cup of old men's dreams And maddens young men's arms with love. Leap, spring, out of our stormy hearts Into a grass warring of peaceful armies, Brave battle spring, into peace.

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.
