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.

Horses have captured our imaginations, as children and adults, for centuries. Here are eight great reads about horses, both fiction and non-fiction, that will keep you entertained all summer long.
Everyone knows what a Thoroughbred horse is: the famous, lightning-fast horses we see on race tracks. But not everyone knows that those all Thoroughbreds are descended from a handful of Arabian horses, including Sham, the star of "King of the Wind." Sham was sent from the Middle East to England as a gift, and considered worthless for most of his life, but his underdog story will worm its way into your heart.
