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.

COP28 is over. What now?
Mark Sappenfield
The United Nations COP28 climate summit is now done. There were surprises, big announcements, and an official charity pop song. (Think “We Are the World,” only greener.) See our wrap-up in today’s issue.
The question with all such events is, what now? Will actions match promises? That’s the primary question around all climate action, frankly. Our answer has been the Climate Generation series, which ends next week. If you want to know what climate action looks like, read it. There is a place where hope and honest appraisals of the crisis meet. And these young people are leading the way.
