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.

In "The Searchers," writer Glenn Frankel explores the making of the movie which is often called the best Western of all time.
Members of the Navajo tribe participated in the filming of "The Searchers," with many serving as extras and some women doing laundry or performing other housekeeping tasks. They reportedly liked both Ford and Wayne. Wayne talked with them regularly and, early on in the production process, offered the use of his private plane to take a two-year-old tribe member, a little girl diagnosed with both double pneumonia and measles, to the closest hospital which was 100 miles away.
