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 best kind of sequel
Mark Sappenfield
Ask a reader to describe the Monitor, and one word you’ll often hear is “hope.” Today’s review of “Inside Out 2” by Cameron Pugh and Troy Aidan Sambajon gives me hope that, just maybe, Pixar can get back to its best.
From “Toy Story” to “Ratatouille,” Pixar did something more than reinvent animation. It produced films of stunning depth, packaged as children’s fare but more likely to leave adults bawling. They reminded us of the power of all those things we most need – innocence, goodness, love, and, yes, hope.
A renewal of those years would be a very welcome sequel.
