Saying it with words

I love the spoken word spoken to be heard - lovingly timed, Never mimed. I love the tight twist of talk like a diving hawk as quickly rising. Bring me a bonbon box of words - subtle, or spiked for keen rebuttal - knowledgeable, silly, or solemn - with a few winged like birds. Words can be rapier sharp or fragile as a plucked harp - swift and acute - clean as the call of a flute. I love the well-spoken word!

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.
