In a June 6 story on women breaking gender barriers (page 1), statistics on women's participation in the labor force were mischaracterized. Currently, about 60.1 percent of women age 16 and older work, up from 57.4 percent in 1989. (Relative to men, women have climbed from 45.1 percent of all workers in 1989 to about 46.6 percent today.)

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.
