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.

From his new book 'That Book About Harvard,' writer Eric Kester shares stories of his embarrassments and mishaps at America's most famous college.
Kester, a member of the football team, at one point slipped in mud during practice and twisted his knee, so for some time, he was unable to run. "Of course, just because I couldn't run didn't mean I couldn't stay in shape," he wrote. "So during practice Coach Mac forced me to perform endless army-crawls around the field, dragging my body along the ground using nothing but my forearms and elbows. He would tail me every inch of the way."
