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.

• Mandela Wins Suit: A judge Tuesday ordered an art publisher and the ex-lawyer for former President Nelson Mandela to stop selling artwork bearing Mr. Mandela's signature.

As reported on May 11, "Nelson Mandela aims to halt exploitation of his celebrity cachet," Mr. Mandela filed a lawsuit to stop the sales and to remove Ismail Ayob and his wife, Zamila, from their positions in a trust fund set up by Mandela. The Associated Press reported that the former president also demanded an audit of the trust and the artwork project.
