Today I measure wind by measuring me and find if I should yield - or should I stand? Do I bow like the birch or tougher be, tied to a boulder that holds down the land? The rose, no doubt, has goals, intends to grow a certain way yet it is sometimes blown by alien winds. Sometimes I must go subject to wills that are not my own.

If I must bend to them (lest I should break) I must determine, plan how I should bend to grace the alien pathway that I take, and thereby, haply, come to some good end!

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.
