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.

The House is poised to vote whether to censure Rep. Charles Rangel of New York. It’s a punishment seldom used, but here are the five most recent cases.
Rep. Gerry Studds (D) of Massachusetts was censured for engaging in sexual relations with a male congressional page. Mr. Studds, the first openly gay congressman, refused to apologize for his conduct, which he described as a “consensual relationship with a young adult.” He did, however, acknowledge committing “a very serious error in judgment.”
Studds was censured the same day as Crane, on a 420-3 vote. The censure did not affect Studds’ reelection. He retired in 1997 after serving six terms.
