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.

In light of an op-ed by Ayaan Hirsi Ali ('Why the Arab Spring hasn't failed in Egypt and Middle East), we asked our readers on Facebook: “Do you think the Arab Spring has failed?” See some of their most thoughtful responses here.
Jill Levi: NO! It hasn't failed at all. It's still in progress. Democracy is coming to the Middle East and Muslims will be able to share in freedom. This secures our world, not ruins it.
Adam Carpenter: Is it a success? I cannot say just yet. But I know it is far too early to call it a failure.
Eileen Whitaker: Egyptians just learned the first rule of Democracy: Consider your vote carefully, research the candidate, and ensure that he/she is not a wolf in sheep’s clothing. I have hope for Egypt.
