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.

Big news, big responsibility

These are momentous days. A landmark Supreme Court ruling about presidential immunity. Far-right gains in France. A debate defined by President Joe Biden’s disastrous performance and Donald Trump’s serial falsities.
The tendency can be to rise or fall on those shifting tides of political momentum. And much of the news coverage will. But there must still be a place for clear-eyed steadiness, which kindles to action not through fear or favor, but through calm, right thinking. That’s what we aim to offer you today and in the months ahead.
