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.

It can pay to be a slob. Ace Hardware will award a gift certificate and supplies worth $10,000 to you if your room is in worse shambles than any other. Send a picture of that mess and a 25-words-or-less explanation that describes "how getting the room organized will help you get ready for the new millennium" by Feb. 29 to: America's Messiest Room Contest, 625 North Michigan Avenue, Suite 2400, Chicago IL 60611
