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.

In his new book 'Social Q's,' columnist Philip Galanes offers suggestions for today's social quandaries.
One reader vented over his annoyance with dodging fellow pedestrians who were talking or typing on their mobile devices. Galanes says this is a grin-and-bear-it kind of situation. "Hate to tell you, but typing on the street has become a basic human right," he wrote in reply. He urged the reader to just watch for the slow walkers so there weren't any sidewalk pile-ups. "Our best alternative on mean sidewalks is to keep our eyes peeled," Galanes says.
