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.

New Year’s Eve festivities are already under way in some parts of the world. Here’s a sampling of fun ways people can celebrate the dawn of 2012 – in the United States and beyond.
Xanadu, loosely known as a mythical home of the nine muses in Greek mythology, is the theme of the 20th anniversary of St. Louis’s First Night, a family-friendly celebration. In addition to taking in musical and dance performances, visitors can write a wish for 2012 and add it as a “sprinkle” on a 12-foot-tall artificial birthday cake.
