Would You Be Astonished?

``Write the vision, and make it plain upon the tables, that he may run that readeth it.'' Habakkuk 2:2

Robbed of silences, you lift your eyes from docu-drama, infotainment; now

Testing early the worth of words, you

savor

the taste of metaphor, learn to envision

a noiseless force across this stuttering

age. . . .

Would you be astonished if you found

God within the shadow of the symbols?

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.
