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.

Built along the Cormal River, Schlitterbahn Waterpark Resort – whose name translates loosely into "slippery road" in German – has won Amusement Today's Best Waterpark award every year since 1998. Since opening their first park in 1979, Schlitterbahn has opened three more parks in Texas and another in Kansas. In this photo, a visitor curls across the face of the Boogie Bahn wave simulator at Schlitterbahn Galveston Island Waterpark, which won the award for Best Indoor Waterpark.
