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.

We’re back today with a mix that includes stories from two of journalism’s most authoritative writers on the world’s most restive region.
Scott Peterson, fresh from Syria and with a few dozen career trips to Iran in his passport, scopes out what’s next for Tehran’s regional ambitions, with key proxies and now a key ally reeling or gone.
Columnist Ned Temko frames Syria’s evolving reset as a rare (and highly conditional) opportunity for the Middle East – one of a magnitude not seen in the region since Egypt’s Anwar Sadat pivoted toward a negotiated peace with Israel 50 years ago.
