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.

The SEALs had seized four weapons in the assault, “and now I had to dispose of them,” Panetta writes.

The last two mementos were pistols. Panetta sent one to the CIA’s counterterrorism center, and one to the Pentagon.
