Spring step

Oh, oh, we missed the coming of spring again. The media told us just when it would arrive in our climatic zone this week. We made a mental note. Then we must have mislaid it.

Now spring is here, so everybody says. But how can we be sure?

By the birdsong outside the breakfast window? By the new green spears from last year's chives picketing a corner of the bare garden? By the urge to wash a car that suddenly seems even dingier?

Or does the proof of the season really lie in the spring we see - don't we? - in everybody's step?

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.
