Regarding the editorial "The Separatists' Sad Scenario," Nov. 6: The tension in the Czech and Slovak Federal Republic points to the need for mediating structures that will encourage local democracy and the market economy.The mayor of Kosice, the capital of Eastern Slovakia, is in the process of creating such a structure. Through the creation and support of cooperatives, community development corporations, and local enterprise centers, this new organization will ensure that the people of Kosice and Eastern Slovakia are participants in their own development. It is to be hoped they will not suffer the fate of others in a divided world. Jim Lotz, Halifax, N.S. Canada

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.
