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.

When our first child was born, it took two of us to bathe him – one to do the bathing, the other to read aloud from Penelope Leach’s “Your Baby And Child." By the time our third child arrived, our baby-book needs were much more specific. Here are our top book recommendations for second- or third-time parents:
1. The Baby Name Wizard, by Laura Wattenberg. The names spotlighted here each come with a “snapshot” of useful data – name origins, meanings, and popularity trends – but the big selling point for us was that each name included a list of sibling names that had the same style and feel. Got a little Liam expecting a new brother or sister? The book’s suggestions include Chloe, Mia, Gavin, and Riley.
