Evaluating Advances in Science

Haven't we all seen enough of what such curiosity, parading as "pure science," does to our species and others that share this small planet?

What we need is both simpler and infinitely higher on the scale of values: the personally verifiable formulas for real understanding, kindness, and balance. James Opie, Wilsonville, Ore.

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.
