Words of Note

I made up my mind a long time ago

not to get too excited, no matter

which way the crowd goes. I get

paid for playing left field and for

hitting that baseball. I am not a

participant in a popularity contest.

Ted Williams, former Red Sox player

Quoted in The Saturday Evening Post

(April 10, 1954).

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.
