Celestial swan

with a little

practice

the moon

can be plucked

folded into

a swan

the size

of a chestnut

it's not a

question

of origami

it's simply

having a

ladder high

enough

and hands

so strong

nothing

ever slips

out of their grasp

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.
