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.

My husband has a Keogh plan. Is he also eligible for an IRA (individual retirement account) under the new tax law? -B.A.
Yes. Anyone is eligible for an IRA if they worked for a living. People who are self-employed qualify for both IRA and Keogh plans. You can deposit up to $ 15,000, or 15 percent of self-employment income, in a Keogh plan. And if you earned more than $2,000, you could also contribute up to $2,000 in an IRA, for a tax-sheltered total of $17,000 a year.
