All chocolate is not created equal

European Union member nations are in a tizzy. Is it over the instability of the common euro? No, it's the definition of chocolate that troubles Greeks, Brits, Finns, and their neighbors. The EU can't decide what exactly constitutes "European chocolate." Purists (including Italians, Belgians, and Spaniards) insist on cocoa butter as the only vegetable fat that can be used. They argue that chocolate from countries such as England and Austria is inferior. The debate looks likely to continue indefinitely.

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.
