Why is Christian Science in our name?
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.

Precedented: Lessons from history
The churn of day-to-day news makes it easy to forget that so much of what we're seeing now has happened in some way before. But history is full of lessons to offer the present. In our video series, “Precedented,” multimedia reporters Jessica Mendoza and Jingnan Peng look to the past to understand the challenges we face today and our way forward. From health care reform to economic crisis, we dig into the archives to find images, faces, and voices that show how history continues to resonate today.
