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.

About
The Christian Science Monitor regularly hosts newsmaker breakfasts for Washington reporters, a unique forum known for civil discussion of issues. Each breakfast features a prominent guest, typically in politics or government. The goal is light, not heat.
Monitor correspondent Godfrey “Budge” Sperling Jr. hosted the first breakfast in 1966, and we’ve now held almost 4,000. Today, the Monitor’s Washington bureau chief serves as moderator. More breakfast history can be found here.
