The home of the 21st century

What will the home of the future look like? The editors of Metropolitan Home magazine think it will be a mixture of old and new.

"The rooms we live in will continue to be a synthesis of many periods and styles," they say. "Pleasure will continue to come from mixing the best of the present and the past and adding the comfort of handmade pieces to blunt the sharpness of cutting-edge technology."

In a 21st-century living room, they predict, a copy of a 1912 Frank Lloyd Wright sideboard will likely share space with futuristic fabrics and a high-tech home-theater system.

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.
