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.

Bones jutting out like weatherworn ledges and a tail not unlike the lion's. The weird geography of their bodies as they jump over a brook the air itself holding them clumsily in its invisible folds.
The movement of their mouths in the awkward light full of grass, empty of verb.
Ears, the ears of a cow and the wholeness of a moon in their eyes.
Dew-laden nostrils sweet as clover, Udders pendulous, wobbly, milk-heavy.
Casual as the daisies themselves the sun-work of cows.
