I Wonder

  • By E.B. de Vito

what the moon looks like from below to one who has walked upon its surface?

if journeys in space announced themselves to man, long centuries ago - in dreams of flying?

what Sir Edmund Hillary was thinking when a call came from his son from the "unscalable" peak that he himself had climbed alone: his son with a tour group, calling from the top of Mt. Everest to speak to his father on a portable phone?

And I wonder how long I will go on continuing to wonder about all the things that I can never know?

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.
