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
Words, patiently weighed Reflect some inner spark
of inspiration
Waiting to be conveyed
in outer form
to virgin page
or ready ear.
Not overclothed
but wrapped in clarity
translucent, vivid, sheer,
so the idea
all fresh and new
comes shining bravely through.
Spare words
the indignity
of being used as
mindless utterance
oblique, confused.
Love words -
Use them with care
Know them
as precious and rare
expressions of the Word
which lies behind all creativity.
