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.

A deal for Boeing

In recent years, the small Gulf state of Qatar has developed a large reputation as a regional peacemaker. On Wednesday, the state carrier Qatar Airways signed a $96 billion deal with Boeing for up to 210 new wide-body jets. That’s good news for a flagship American company struggling to right itself after high-profile safety failures, worker strikes, and leadership struggles.The benefits of the agreement may be more than economic. As Mary Crossan, a professor at the Ivey Business School, wrote in Forbes last year about Boeing’s troubles, leadership failures often result from “weaknesses of character more so than competence.” Boeing’s opportunity to build more planes may be an opportunity to lift its governing culture, too. Read our story about the company here.
