Slinkys go postal

After 51 years of production, enough Slinkys have been made that the 3 million miles of wire produced could circle the earth 126 times! The US Postal Service is now paying homage to this venerable walking toy. As part of its "Celebrate the Century" series the USPS will issue the "Slinky Craze Begins" stamp on Feb. 18.

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.
