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.

The former speaker is a masterful strategist with a brilliant political mind. But a rocky marital record and a penchant for flame-throwing may jeopardize his candidacy.
Gingrich married Jackie Battley in 1962, with whom he had two daughters. In 1981 he divorced his first wife and wed Marianne Ginther. In 2000 he divorced her and married Callista Bisek, his current wife.
Formerly Baptist, Gingrich converted to Catholicism in 2009. He has since said he’s developed more appreciation for the role of religion in public life.
