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.

Ladies and gentlemen, Murr Brewster. I am sure many of you have read her before, many times. Today, she shares with us the joys of quilting. But the subject rarely matters, really. She’s always worth a read. And yes, in times like these, perhaps especially so.
