Reader recommendation: Doc

I’m currently reading Doc, a novel by Mary Doria Russell that’s full of wonderful detail about America’s Old West and its characters. I just finished Russell’s earlier novel "A Thread of Grace," which is about the Roman Catholics who hid Jews from the Nazis in the Piedmont region of Italy from 1943 to 1945.

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.
