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 9, 2025 Getting back on track

At a time when many feel the things they care about are getting derailed, there’s a great parable of determination in our story today about Syria’s plans to rebuild the Hejaz Railway. Between the capital of Damascus and the southern Syrian city of Daraa, an early flash-point in the 14-year civil war, 25 miles of track are missing. They were stolen, allegedly by former Assad regime forces, to be melted down for war use and profit. Rail authorities are undaunted. They aim to have that section rebuilt within two years.
