Pigeon-holed me

  • By Julie A. Davey

They call me an Anglo-Saxon, middle-aged woman, With brownish-red hair. I live in a semi-rural area in my two-story house, With its two-car garage. I'm a member of the college-educated group and Am a political middle-of-the-roader. I'm in the middle-income bracket and I drive An American-made car. I shop at discount-department stores, Using cents-off coupons. I'm married to a white-collar worker, And I read self-help books. I'm going through a mid-life crisis, And I've just discovered why. May I speak matter-of-factly? I've been hyphenated!

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.
