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 12, 2025 Attuned to balance

One of the things we consider as we compile these packages is balance – of topics, of regions, and of perspectives. We aim to keep you current on big news stories like the LA protests, but we suspect you might also enjoy a nod to the Beach Boys’ Brian Wilson and his legacy, including inspiring the Beatles’ “Sgt. Pepper” album. Meanwhile in the Beatles’ home country, we write about British millennials gathering by the hundreds to sing the hymns they sang in school. Sometimes a song – whether innovative or nostalgic – has a way of crossing barriers. Today, that’s news, too.
