Of this moment

primaveral,
when the trees
are tuning forks
struck into the tones
of birdsong,
the squirrels
descend the trunks
like beads
of hot wax,
each onto the floor
of his own
little room
sans walls or roof,
lit by a thousand
candles
in the dazzling
yellow house
of morning.

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.
