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.

To Sarah, Darrell, Jason, Justin, and Jonny
It's here when the garden
by the doorstep is again
impatien-perfect and the primrose,
sun-colored, has petaled out.
When the robins resettle in
the yew, and orioles, thrushes
busy the morning with song, it's
here. When the web, dew-pearled,
is respun under the eaves and monarchs
dazzle the new-mown lawn and
your laughter sings over
the field like embers
soothing a long chill, I know,
at last it's here.
