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.

Now the calyx of ice has broken, and the waterfall
bursts into flower.
The bloom is all
eddies and foam and spray, and in a trice
the water thrushes rush to the bower
and drink of blue nectar.
They serenade
the verdant cascade
of mists and pebbles. Up, up they climb
with their music, matching the chime
of the waves. It is a song
continual as the flowing of the slopes, strong
with floodtime.
The thrushes throng
hidden nooks, ravines, honey-sweet
gardens of waters.
