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.

After moving her family to Paris for a year, author Eloisa James shares 8 stories of life in France.
James and her family visited several pet shops along the Seine, but she says there was a surprising lack of the most culturally known French pet. "We have visited every shop on two occasions, and haven't seen a single poodle," she wrote. "As in Italy, chipmunks are popular pets. They look (to me) quite dismal, but perhaps Brazilians seeing parrots in cages rather than flashing through trees feel the same."
