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.

As the movie 'John Carter' arrives in theaters, here are 11 of the most well-known adaptations of other Edgar Rice Burroughs books.
The 1976 film also featured David McClure, this time playing the part of main character David Innes, a backer for scientist Abner Perry (played by Peter Cushing). The two try out Perry's drilling machine, but are transported to the middle of the earth, where they meet a race of people who are forced to work for large reptiles. Actor Bobby Parr, who played the Sagoth Chief in the film, lost his finger while filming a fight with McClure.
