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.

Here are the Monitor's hand-picked highlights from the 2011 commencement season.
A journalist once asked Mother Teresa how she persevered in the face of all the despair she had seen. Mother replied, "God has not called me to be successful. He has called me to be faithful." Over the years, I've carried in my heart a similar code my parents taught me: You do the right thing for the right reasons, and good things will happen.
So there you have it: humility, patience, and faith – the raw material of hard work and sacrifice. They will take you as far as you want to go.
