Musing

I come to this brook to listen to the water, and watch the waves glisten, and loose my thoughts to meander over the stones. I am bystander to their explorations around barricades of sticks, leaves and raised ground, over sharp edges of rocks, and ledges of smooth pebbles.

Fickle currents have swallowed them sometimes, but you might be surprised what endings some came to! A bit of wonder that produced philosophy there in the sunlight, and poetry evolving from several words floating near reflections of the wings of birds.

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.
