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.

"November 22, 1963" gathers dozens of "where I was" stories from the day that John F. Kennedy was assassinated.
"I was trying a homicide case in Los Angeles when news came to the judge that President Kennedy was assassinated. He stood up and said 'My God.' The jurors all stood up, some cried, and became hysterical.... I was still trying the homicide case when Earl Ruby, Jack's brother, came out to watch me on trial in court, and after watching for a day, came up and asked me if I would represent his brother."
