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.

Where change begins
Mark Sappenfield
I loved reading today’s Points of Progress by Erika Page. For one, the idea of bee fences to protect elephants is just cool. Beyond that, a community in Puerto Rico rallied locals to set aside their own marine conservation area. And a woman in Bolivia started a taxi service to provide safe rides for women, children, and older people.
Broader action at the state, national, or international level is essential. But often, it is the product of people first making change on their own.
