Kids' Web sites conform to legislation

Kid-oriented Web sites are scrambling to comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, which takes effect in April. The legislation requires sites that solicit information from children under 13 to obtain parental consent. The new law is forcing some sites to cancel kids' e-mail accounts, while others have set up free parental-consent hot lines.

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.
