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.

We report today on a former president testing his party’s support on Capitol Hill, and about Russia cozying up to Afghanistan’s Taliban.
Both smart reads as we slide toward the summer of a contentious U.S. election year and as global geopolitical plates keep shifting.
And find the stories that might move you most a little farther down. Among them: Christa Case Bryant’s short, second piece today. It’s a story of connection across continents, of agency and gratitude. It shows the power of journalism – in this case of a 2018 Monitor story – to make a difference in a life.
