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.

Seeking safety in Southern California and beyond
Mark Sappenfield
Editor
This morning, we woke to two of our Southern California correspondents having evacuated their homes in suburban Los Angeles. Francine Kiefer and Ali Martin are safe. Ever the professional, Francine even filed a story on the fires.
Yesterday, Stephanie Hanes wrote about the consequences of fiercer disasters on communities worldwide. Today’s example hits closer to home for us. But it’s why we do what we do every day, trying to bring the whole world into the Monitor family.
