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.

These 10 immigrant authors have all made significant contributions to US literature and culture.
Lahiri was born in London to an immigrant family from India. Her family then moved to the US when Lahiri was three. Much of her work deals with large themes like family, duty, freedom, and the immigrant experience in America. Her debut short story collection, "Interpreter of Maladies," was awarded a Pulitzer Prize in 2000. Her 2003 novel "The Namesake," which was made into a movie in 2006, explores the way that the children of immigrants can feel when they are "caught between cultures."
