A season of love

  • By Gladys McKee

There was a season of love When all things shone, Making the common, uncommonly beautiful . . . A child skipping rope, After sun turning the lake's water to liquid gold, Twilight shadows on a steeple And all kinds of people. It was a stanza of time Outside all common calendars, Days when only the heart ticked the time, And tinted the flowers and the trees. It was truly a season of love, When nothing else mattered But sharing our thoughts, tears and laughter, There was never a happier time . . . Before or after.

Why is Christian Science in our name?

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.
