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.
Explore values journalism About us
She floats above us in sunny-wet, Her colors iridescent, With stars, on her never ending tour Of circles all florescent. Of miracles, and laughter too, Of birds' eternal song, She never stops her joyous spree, But laughs, and carries on. She is an infinite circular flower With petals all aglow, She never does anything wrong She would not stoop so low. She flickers in a momentary spin And after circling the sky She whispers her sweet, ''Adieu,'' And gracefully says, ''Goodbye.''
