The pandemic showed that people struggle with uncertainty. Reading our two stories today on migration, it strikes me that here is another crisis of uncertainty.
These three things are true: People under enormous stress will move to seek safety and opportunity. There is no easy way to absorb them. There is a moral demand to treat them humanely.
Politically, that adds up to uncertainty. There is no clear policy solution. Yet perhaps we can find a different kind of certainty: a conviction that we can do better, for everyone. There will be no one solution, no perfect solution. But the Monitor has spent more than 115 years (and a good chunk of today’s issue) seeking ways forward. We can be certain that more are waiting to be found.
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.
