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.

Have you ever done something that left you utterly exhilarated? You’ll be reminded of it when you read our director of photography’s photo-essay about taking his 30-year-old bike and heading to Tuscany. For a few days every year, the town of Gaiole in Chianti turns into an energetic show of cosplay on vintage wheels. You won’t want to miss his account and his pictures.
And take note as well of a major point of progress today: an unprecedented drop in overdose deaths from opioids in the United States last year.
