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.

Here are new income tax provisions to watch for as you work through your 1040 form:
For 2012 and 2013, taxpayers age 70-1/2 and older who make charitable donations directly from an IRA won't be taxed for a withdrawal up to $100,000. Also, if a direct transfer was made in January 2013, the rules allow the transfer to be treated as though it happened in 2012. Normally, withdrawals from a non-Roth IRA are included as taxable income, even if the money goes to a charity.
