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 rose is a mansion! All its rooms are done
in silk and elegant! If there were chairs,
they would be Hepplewhite and Sheraton.
There would be grand, polished, curving stairs!
You know that vases there are china-thin,
delicately painted with petals; and you think
that concerts would include a violin
and the most-favored color would be pink!
A visitor would stay a night or so
and dress for dinner, and in exquisite clothes;
poets would be invited
and dedicate their poems to a rose!
