Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The First Church of Christ, Scientist, 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.

12 versions that successfully brought Dickens' classic novels to the small and big screens.
Part of a string of recent critically acclaimed mini-series of Dickens' novels made by the BBC, the mini-series "Bleak House" debuted in 2005 with "X-Files" star Gillian Anderson as Lady Dedlock. Dickens' novel, with its scathing view of the legal system, is adapted in all its complexities in this version. Keep an eye out for star Carey Mulligan, most recently seen in "Shame" with Michael Fassbender, as one of the orphans, Ada, who may inherit a fortune.
