Correction

An undetected transmission error resulted in the elimination of quotation marks in "Manual boating bliss," by Todd R. Nelson (Aug. 13 Monitor, Page 22). This passage should have been attributed to author John McPhee from his "The Survival of the Bark Canoe" (Farrar, Strauss, Giroux, 1975).

These are McPhee's words: "A canoe with a curving, rocker bottom could turn with quick response in white water. A canoe with a narrow bow and stern and a somewhat V-sided straight bottom could hold its course across a strong lake wind. A canoe with a narrow beam moved faster than any other and was therefore the choice for war."

We apologize for this error.

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.
