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.

With Congress failing to fund the federal government by Oct. 1, the start of the new fiscal year, the government has gone into partial shutdown. Here is a list of what's open, and what isn't, during the shutdown.
Passport service workers are not considered essential, so if your application for a new or renewed passport isn’t already in the works, expect a delay. During the last shutdown, the 200,000 passport applications went unprocessed, according to a Washington Post report at the time. Some 20,000 to 30,000 applications by foreigners for entry visas also went unprocessed each day.
