stack of books What are you reading?
  • By LoisAnn Oakes, Allentown, Pa.

The Limits of Power: The End of American Exceptionalism by Andrew J. Bacevich was published this year and in just 182 pages, Bacevich clearly and succinctly tells how we arrived at the situation we are in today. He is a professor of history and a former colonel in the military. I found his clarity compelling. “Freedom is not static, nor is it necessarily benign.” Such provocative words make me read on ... and on. I will look on myself and all of us today in a much different light.

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.
