On Creativity....

On Creativity.... One sits down first; one thinks afterwards. Jean Cocteau There is in us a lyric germ or nucleus which deserves respect; it bids a man ponder or create; and in this dim corner of himself he can take refuge and find consolations which the society of his fellow-creatures does not provide. Norman Doulgas * An excerpt from 'An Almanac.' No man has the right to dictate what other men should perceive, create or produce, but all should be encouraged to reveal themselves, their perceptions and emotions, and to build confidence in the creative spirit. Ansel Adams * An excerpt from 'Photographers on Photography.'

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.
