Acorn-replete, relaxed in full contentment with dreamy knowledge of deposits made against the cold (enough that some, forgotten, will make no difference in days ahead), you take your ease - a banker on vacation - stockbroker resting high on shares of oak - a realtor who's moved a line of condos - successful author with completed book - Or even I, with four new poem transcripts and lines for yet another in my mind, turning the matter over, knowing music and words to be the acorns I shall find ...

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.
