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.

Ten delightful literary adventures for young readers aged 7 to 9.
Young Peter Hatcher is the prototypical older sibling: forced to bear the burden of guidance for his rambunctious three-year-old brother, a role which he finds unbearable. Little Fudge may be cute to adults, but to Peter – who wants nothing more than to go to the playground untethered, or retreat peacefully to his room with his turtle, Dribble – Fudge is a menace. Blume's story perfectly captures the mindset of a youngster who can't help but think that adults "just don't get it."
