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.

Planning and executing a DIY costume can be a fun creative project for kids and parents to work on together. Check out these five materials that can make for costumes on the cheap.
Costumes built out of cardboard can be ideal for kids because they can be built to wear over clothes and coats during trick or treating. While young kids will probably need help cutting the stiff board, they can take an active part in designing and decorating the costume. Cut some holes for arms and a head and you're halfway to a robot, a space ship, or a marshmallow. The options are bound only by your child's imagination.
