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.

In his new book 'Social Q's,' columnist Philip Galanes offers suggestions for today's social quandaries.
For the grating little habits of the person in the next cubicle, Galanes suggests putting the problem on yourself. "In the calmest voice possible, say, 'You know, I have no right to ask, but you could you stop [INSERT HIDEOUS HABIT HERE]?' " he writes. "Then add, with a big smile, 'For some reason, it's really getting under my skin!'... .You avoid defensiveness and even the prospect that there's something to be defensive about."
