The Christian Science Monitor - Centennial Celebration
Get the Flash Player to see this video.

A timeless mission.
Now, more than ever.

In 1908 – the year Henry Ford launched his Model T – Mary Baker Eddy founded the Monitor as an alternative to the parochial, partisan, celebrity-focused newspapers of the day.

Today’s media isn’t always that different. And the Monitor’s global, solution-oriented mission is as important as ever. Join us in celebrating – and moving forward.
