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.
Explore values journalism About us
On this gray dawn,
the dunes are scrubbed with moss,
their green birthmarks from the sea.
Horizon's haze blurs the rim of sea and sky.
Pregnant with sea-breath,
gusts rush through our louvered windows.
Blessed be louvers,
that split ocean breath into whine and whistle,
that whittle and sliver the sighs of the sea
down to room-size,
where we dream, shuttered in sleep,
our wild dreams
tossing inside our heads.
