Not pawns of human history
Not doomed by destiny
But sons and daughters of the Lord
Secure, protected, free.

You’re held in arms of Love divine
Wrapped up, safe and warm
Your needs are now provided
You’re sheltered from the storm.

No weary years of wandering
Through wilderness, alone
But borne on wings of angels
You’re carried safely home.

Soul has infinite resources with which to bless mankind....
Mary Baker Eddy, “Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures,” p. 60

Love is impartial and universal in its adaptation and bestowals.
Science and Health, p. 13

(In these quotes, “Soul” and “Love” are used as Bible-based synonyms for God.)

Why is Christian Science in our name?

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.
