That hovers in the air

In certain books, some in the first few paragraphs, you know that you have met a brother. Robert Henri Sometimes as I read somewhere a thought I never thought to share, or when I stumble on a rare something that hovers in the air: a fleeting moment when you show something you cannot know, but know, it seems that all discovery is only another twist or view: the old renewed, what was told, retold, where we can highlight or take note of something that was always there -- like Baudelaire, translating Poe because to him ``he resembled me.'' I am like you. You are like me: we always find ourselves in others. There is no way to lose ourselves: however endlessly or aimlessly or to what far ends of the earth we roam, it is never too far to find our brothers. There is nowhere to go but home.

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.
