Whale Song

Divers and Breathers, Callers and Hearers, Listen: this is a fine day today for living. Viola blue, whistle green, bellows the black water. She is a wonderful singer, this Earth. Listen: she opens her opalescent lips. We are strains of her music. . . We are the low song after waking. . . We dream the burbling bedtime lullabye. . . Wash oh, rasp and slip, screak and squeel! My Roarers and Whisperers, My Callers and Hearers, Listen: this is a fine night tonight for living.

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.
