`The Church as a Community'

The closing of the Monitor Channel and cancellation of the World Monitor program leave a gap in my life. I am not a member of your church. I am, however, appreciative of the work of Mary Baker Eddy in bringing religion out of the Dark Ages and into the light of life and health.

The entire tone of the Monitor is so radically different from anything else in the English-speaking world. Always honest, always competent, the reporting of world events really helps me understand and appreciate the events that shape our lives. No one does it better than the Monitor.
