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.

Have you ever seen such contentment, such happiness? Raul must deserve it. Whatever he's taken, it's perfect: It has changed his eyes to seagulls; his hair is a single cloud; his nose, a coral reef; his mustache and mouth are ocean waves moving in to a white beach. Raul smiles, his eyes closed. Everything floats, rolls in silence. He knows there are mountains in the distance, separate from him, but doesn't look. No need to. Not when his head is sky, his mouth waves, the rest warm sand.
