Worth a thousand words

Many thanks for printing the photo of baby swallows with the Home Forum page essay "Spring Flies In on Migrating Wings," March 19.

Year after year swallows raise their young in a nest atop a column just opposite my kitchen window. To watch this family being fed, trained, and eventually launched from under the porch ceiling is an experience not easily forgotten. That the swallows' parents put their "all" into the raising of their young is attested to and revealed in this fine photo. Edith C. Smith, Erwinna, Pa.

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.
