A bouquet of dancers

Traditional fan-dancers perform in a New Year's parade in Taipei, Taiwan, on Feb. 27. The Chinese lunar new year began Feb. 5 with the arrival of the Year of the Dragon. The fan dance is a nature dance dating back centuries. Most of the dancers represent flowers.

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.
