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.

June 11, 2025 What bookworms want

What bookworm doesn’t remember their first library? For me, it was the public library in downtown Winchester, Massachusetts. I remember sitting in the stacks as a kid, looking around and thinking, “I want to read every single book.” In rural Tunisia, some children have the same opportunity, thanks to Judge Omar Weslati, as reported in today’s Daily. His initiative – called Zira’at al-Maktabat, Arabic for “planting libraries” – is giving kids something he didn’t have growing up, books to read right there at school.
