The chimes outside my window, three perpendicular tubes twisting in the wind at dusk,
are as green as an old copper coin.
On one I etched PYTHAGORAS because
it was on the island of Samos in the lucid heat of an August afternoon that
I bought them. On the second, JACOB, because
it was Bronowski, master of mathematical skulls, who first showed me how to celebrate the eucharist of numbers.
On the third? BOSS, because here, in the US of A the music they play is Bruce Springsteen.
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.
