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.

A trend you probably won’t hear much about
Mark Sappenfield
Here’s something I’m sure you’ve noticed. The media covers something comprehensively when it goes bad. Not so much when it shows signs of turning around. Take violent crime. Many Americans think it is much worse than it is because of how we talk about it – often in a distorted or negative way.
Today, we’re taking on U.S. housing prices, which are high and don’t tend to turn on a dime. But there are some signs of a nascent shift. And you should know that. Potentially good news is still news.
