The GOP and abortion

Regarding the editorial "Warning Shot at GOP," Feb. 1: I find offensive the equation of opposition to abortion on the GOP platform with clinging "to zealotry masquerading as principle." Such a disparaging remark smacks of the very tone of Patrick Buchanan's speech at the convention, which the writer as well as this reader found offensive. Supporters of a particular party are not likely to agree on all issues. Insulting remarks, however, on either side of the abortion issue are unlikely to win converts. Anne Weiss, St. Petersburg, 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.
