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.

To mark the 150th anniversary of the onset of the US Civil War, the Smithsonian Institution selected 150 items – objects, artifacts, photographs, and paintings – from its collection to help tell the story of the War Between the States. The images range from Mary Todd Lincoln's jewelry to Confederate greenbacks to the Bowie knife. Together with accompanying text, these images tell a powerful and poignant story.
