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.

The story of Beit Jann is a light amid the darkness
Mark Sappenfield
There is an unspoken truth in journalism: You find what you look for. There is undeniable anguish and inhumanity in Israel and Gaza. We have reported on it extensively. But there is also hope and light in the darkness. Just read Taylor Luck’s story today.
Many organizations don’t look for these things because they think they’re not there or not news – that they’re comparatively unimportant or even naive. We disagree in the most vehement terms. These things are the seeds of any viable future, the substance of any potential progress. That makes them not only news, but also absolutely essential news.
