The Berlin Wall

A wall, before it comes to be what hand can touch, eye can see must cold and fixed its lodgment find within the heart, within the mind

and only when it's there brought down (the cruel wire, the adamant stone)

will this, that so divides us here be sunstruck, gone as mist from air. Berlin, 1962

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.
