What Muscovites are reading

Thank you for the marvelous front-page photo titled "New World for Moscow Readers," Sept. 5. It pictures a family sitting on a bench in Moscow, the father momentarily distracted from reading the new Pravda; the mother also momentarily distracted perhaps by her own worrisome thoughts. But the youngster between them, not for a moment distracted, is totally absorbed in reading - a McDonald's menu! Does this say something about the "new world" for Muscovites?Mavise Crocker, Falmouth, Mass. Letters are welcome. Only a selection can be published, subject to condensation, and none acknowledged.

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.
