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.

Castigating A Coaster Blunder

I noticed that there was a picture of a roller coaster on page 4 with the article "Youth Put Ambition Into Their Leisure" (May 23). Being a roller coaster buff, I immediately looked at the caption to find that it was wrong.

Actually, the Magic Mountain coaster in the photograph is located at Six Flags Magic Mountain - hence the name on the front of the coaster. Perhaps you should give your staff a day at Disneyland! Or next time, give me a call before you try to identify a coaster.
