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.

What about Ukraine?
Mark Sappenfield
Our attention, and the world’s, is on the Middle East. But what about Ukraine? Here at The Christian Science Monitor, we find ourselves stretched. Many of our Ukraine reporters are the same ones who would go to the Mideast. And the world shares our dilemma.
How does it focus on multiple fronts? Europe’s remarkable unity sent a strong message. Ukraine’s courageous defense of democracy inspired. Yet attention was already slipping. The Monitor plans to find a way to not lose sight of Ukraine, starting with, we hope, one more reporting trip this year. The world faces the same challenge: finding a way to not let that flame dim.
